 What Did We Learn?
Standard: 8.F.B.4:
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial
value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (𝘹, 𝘺) values, including reading these from a table
or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and
in terms of its graph or a table of values.
