Linear Functions

Description

This image presents a function rule and its corresponding function equation for f(x) = 2x + 3. It demonstrates how a verbal description of a linear function can be translated into a mathematical equation, helping students bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and algebraic representation of linear functions.

By using this visual aid, teachers can help students make the connection between the intuitive understanding of a function's behavior and its formal mathematical expression. This image is particularly useful for reinforcing the concept of slope and y-intercept in the context of a linear function equation.

Teachers can explain this concept by saying: "Here we have a Linear Function Rule. Notice how the verbal description 'double the input and add 3' translates to the equation f(x) = 2x + 3. Can you identify which part of the equation represents doubling the input? Which part represents adding 3? How would this function look if we graphed it?"
