General Linear Function Machine

Topic

Linear Functions

Description

This image presents a more general form of a Linear Function Machine, represented by ax + b. It introduces students to the standard form of a linear function, helping them understand how different parameters affect the function's behavior.

By incorporating this visual aid, teachers can help students see the connection between the function machine concept and the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. This image is particularly useful for discussing how 'a' and 'b' affect the graph of the function.

Teachers can use this image to introduce the general form by saying: "This is the more general form for a Linear Function Machine. The 'a' represents the slope, and 'b' represents the y-intercept. How do you think changing 'a' would affect our function? What about changing 'b'? Can you think of some specific examples we could plug into this general form?"
