Linear Functions

Description

This image is part of a series illustrating key concepts in linear functions, which are fundamental to understanding how lines behave in mathematics. The specific content of this image features a mountain and a graph titled "Situation: Altitude Change". It demonstrates a linear function with a negative slope, represented by the equation y = -0.01x + 101, showing how air pressure changes with altitude.

Using math clip art like this is an excellent way to teach mathematical concepts. These visual aids can transform abstract ideas into concrete, real-world scenarios, making them more accessible and engaging for students. This particular image can be effectively incorporated into lessons on linear functions to help students understand the relationship between dependent and independent variables in a practical context.

Teachers can introduce this image to students by saying: "Let's look at this graph showing how air pressure changes with altitude. Notice the negative slope of the line. What does this tell us about the relationship between altitude and air pressure? How can we use the equation y = -0.01x + 101 to calculate air pressure at different altitudes? This is a great example of how linear functions can model real-world phenomena."
