Topic

Linear Functions

Definition

Direct variation describes a linear relationship between two variables where one variable is a constant multiple of the other, expressed as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

Description

Direct variation is a fundamental concept in linear functions, illustrating how one variable changes proportionally with another. The constant of variation, 𝑘 k, represents the rate of change.

In real-world scenarios, direct variation can model relationships such as speed and distance, where distance traveled varies directly with time at a constant speed. Understanding this concept is crucial in fields like physics and engineering.

Definition

A line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot, showing the trend of the data points.

Description

The line of best fit is a crucial concept in statistics and data analysis. It helps in identifying the trend and making predictions based on the data.

In real-world applications, the line of best fit is used in various fields such as economics, biology, and engineering to analyze trends and make forecasts. For example, it can be used to predict future sales based on past data.

Definition

Linear function tables display the input-output pairs of a linear function, showing how the dependent variable changes with the independent variable.

Description

Linear function tables are useful tools for understanding and analyzing linear relationships. They provide a clear way to see how changes in the input (independent variable) affect the output (dependent variable).
