Linear Functions

Description

This math clip art continues the series on applications of linear functions in business modeling. The image depicts a sewing machine with t-shirts, introducing the concept of fixed monthly costs in a business, set at $2000 for expenses like rent and utilities.

Visual aids like this are crucial in mathematics education, especially when teaching linear functions. They provide concrete examples of how mathematical concepts apply to real-world scenarios, making abstract ideas more accessible to students. Incorporating such images into lessons on linear functions can greatly enhance understanding of concepts like fixed costs and variable costs in business models.

Teacher's Script: Now, class, let's examine this image. We see a sewing machine and t-shirts, representing our t-shirt business. The caption tells us about fixed monthly costs. How do you think these fixed costs might affect our linear function for the total cost of running this business? How would we represent this $2000 in our equation?
