Knowledge
Students know:
- That the rate of change of a function is the ratio of change in the output to the change in the input.
- how to find the rate of change/slope as well as the initial value/y-intercept.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Construct the graph of a linear function.
- Identify the slope and y-intercept of functions in different contexts.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Terms such as slope and y-intercept describe a graphical.
- Representation of a linear function and correlate their meaning to the rate of change and initial value, where the input is 0.
- Using the units from a context appropriately is needed to make their description of rate of change and initial value accurate.
Vocabulary
- Function
- Linear
- Non-linear
- Slope
- y-intercept
