11) function 12) not function 13) not function

14) Domain: from 0 to 7

Range: from 0 to 70
15) Domain: from 0 to 4
Range: from -7 to 8

6.2 Derive and Interpret y = mx + b

𝑥1 𝑦1 𝑥2 𝑦2
1) 𝑃 (0, 4) , 𝑃 (−3, 6)
1 2
𝑦2 −𝑦1 6−4 2
Slope: 𝑚 = = =
𝑥2 −𝑥2 −3−0 −3

Y-intercept: 𝑏 = 4 (From the graph)

2
Equation of the line: 𝑦 = 𝑥+4
−3

2) 1) nonlinear.
2) linear, 𝑦 = −2𝑥 + 4, slope:−2 , y-intercept: 4
3) nonlinear.
4) nonlinear.
3)
negative positive zero undefined

6.4 Construct Functions:

𝑥 𝑦
1) 𝑚 = 4 , (−1,
3)
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 𝑦 = 4𝑥 + 7
3 = 4(−1) + 𝑏
3 = −4 + 𝑏
7=𝑏
2)
𝑥1 𝑦1 𝑥2 𝑦2 𝑥 𝑦
𝑚 = 4 , (−1,
𝑃1 (4, 5) , 𝑃2 (8, 17) 3)
𝑦2 − 𝑦1 17 − 5 12 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏
𝑚= = = =3 3 = 4(−1) + 𝑏
𝑥2 − 𝑥2 8−4 4
3 = −4 + 𝑏
7=𝑏
𝑦 = 4𝑥 + 7
3) 1)
𝑥1 𝑦1 𝑥2 𝑦2 𝑏 = 20
𝑃1 (0, 20) , 𝑃2 (20, 10) 𝑦 = −0.5𝑥 + 20
𝑦2 − 𝑦1 10 − 20 −10
𝑚= = = = −0.5
𝑥2 − 𝑥2 20 − 0 20
2) initial value is 20 and it represents gallons of gasoline at the start.
3) rate of change is −0.5 and it means that he uses 0.5 gasoline in his snowplow per
driveways plowed.
4) yes, because both variables accept decimal numbers.

7.2 Solve Systems by Graphing:

1) (2,5)
Means 𝑥 = 2 and 𝑦 = 5.
