LEQ: What is the process used to graph direct variation equations?
Symbolized as m Measures the steepness Rate of change of y with respect to x determined by two points on the line Rise/Run Slope formula: The slope of the line through two points (x 1, y 1 ) and (x 2, y 2 ) equals
Find the slope between (9,12) and (15, 21) Let (9,12) = (x 1, y 1 ) and (15, 21) = (x 2, y 2 )
Find the slope between (-3, 8) and (-5, -7) Let (-3, 8) = (x 1, y 1 ) and (-5, -7) = (x 2, y 2 )
Passes through the origin Domain is the set of real numbers When k ≠ 0, the range is the set of real numbers Constant slope, k When k>0, graph slants up from left to right When k<0, graph slants down from left to right For example: The slope of y = 2x is 2 The slope of y = (-3/4)x is -3/4
Graph y = 4x Passes through the origin m = 4 Rise 4 (up) Run 1 (right) Draw line
Graph y = (-2/5)x Passes through the origin m = -2/5 Rise -2 (down) Run 5 (right) Draw line
