Key Concepts

Formulating and Solving Linear Equations

To establish a linear model from given data, one determines the rate of change and uses one of the known data points to find the complete linear equation. Once the equation is set up, it can be used to solve for unknown values by substituting appropriate values of the independent variable.

Extrapolation Using Linear Models

Extrapolation is the process of estimating values beyond the range of known data points by using the established linear model. Given the linear function that fits the known data, one can predict future or past values by extending the line, assuming the constant rate of change continues.

Rate of Change (Slope)

The slope in a linear function quantifies how much the output variable changes for each unit change in the input variable. It is calculated as the ratio of the change in the dependent variable to the change in the independent variable between two points, and it serves as an indicator of the constant rate at which a quantity increases or decreases.

Linear Functions

A linear function represents a relationship where the change between two variables is constant. This means the graph of the function is a straight line, and the relationship can be described by an equation of the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the y-intercept.
