1. Linear Function Rap
Algebra 1
Chapter 4

2. Linear Function Rap A starting point... and where to go next,
That's all you need to pass the Linear Function test.
How do you write that as a Recursive Rule?
Well, start with the starting point, 'cause you're no fool!
Then after the “Enter”, write down what to do
To your previous answer, and the next ones too.
1 (Enter)
(Ans) + 2 (Enter)

3. Linear Function Rap What does Linear look like when seen on a table?
It starts where x is zero and that's no fable.
Then it goes up steadily, a constant rate of change.
Rise over run—that's not so strange!
A starting point... and where to go next,
That's all you need to pass the Linear Function test. x y 1 3 2 5 7

4. Linear Function Rap How does a Linear Function appear on a graph?
“Linear” means a “straight line”, so easy you could laugh!
Start where x is zero, on the y-axis it lies,
Then that “rate of change” tells how steeply it will rise.
A starting point... and where to go next,
That's all you need to pass the Linear Function test.

5. Linear Function Rap y = 1 + 2x y = start + slope * x
A Linear Equation tells all you need to know:
The starting point, of course, then where you need to go.
“Y = a + bx” tells you to start at “a”,
Then “b”, the rate of change, will send you on your way!
y = 1 + 2x
y = start + slope * x
A starting point... and where to go next,
That's all you need to pass the Linear Function test.
