Learn about coordinate geometry for secondary students.

This study guide helps you:

-Describe a linear function in terms of ordered pairs, a rule, in word or equation form, or as a graph

-Use function notation to  evaluate and represent linear functions

-Determine the following characteristics of the graph of a linear function, given its equation:

• x- and y-intercepts
• slope
• domain
• range
  

-Sketch the graph of a linear function given its equation in the form:

• ax + by + c = 0   (general form)
• y= mx + b  (slope-intercept form)

With warm up exercises, math notes (your guide on the side) and step by step instruction, students can learn the concepts in an easy manner.

The book takes students through the concepts in a guided manner to help build understanding.

- Quick Checks allow students to immediately see if the grasped a concept

- Try It Out guides students through doing more complicated questions

 - Review Questions help reinforce and practice the concepts taught.
