Linear Equations and Functions Review

Linear 
pp 18-32 in workbook

Linear Equations:
     point-slope form:  y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
     standard form:  ax + by = c
     slope intercept form:  y = mx +b
  remember:  (x_1 , y_1) are just the terms of ONE point on the line.  If you're given two points, then you'll use (x_1, y_1) as one point, and (x , y) as your other.
Constant of Variation:
   direct:  y = kx
   indirect:  xy=k
Types of lines:
     parallel lines have the same slope (m value)
     perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other  (ex. (1/2) and -2)

Systems of Equations:
    manipulating equations to eliminate a variable when the two equations are added
    substitution

Absolute Values:
   terms inside | | can be + or - to satisfy the formula
  ex.  | x | = 2 --> x = 2 or x = -2
 
Inequalities:
    ***when you're multiplying by a negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol is reversed.
        ex.  -2x > 4  becomes  x < -2

Functions
pp 11-17 in workbook

is it a function?  vertical line test - if it fails the vertical line test, it's not a function

NO DIVISION BY 0

be able to identify the domain and range of functions (graphically or with coordinate points), find the roots, and identify the independent and dependent variables

evaluate a function f(x) at a   that's saying, x = a, so you plug a into your equation and solve for f(a)
