Determining Some Points of a Given Linear Function


To determine a point on the graph of a given linear function y = f(x):

A. Get any element from the domain of the linear function. Recall that the
domain of any linear function is the set of real numbers. This element is
the abscissa of the point.
B. Substitute this abscissa to x in the linear function.
7
C. Solve for the corresponding value of y. This value is the ordinate of the
point.
D. Repeat steps A to C using other element from the domain of the linear
function to determine other points on the graph of the linear function.

Lets summarize

1. In the linear function f(x) = mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2. The trend of a linear function is said to be increasing if the slope is
positive. The trend of a linear function is said to be decreasing if the slope
is negative.

3. To determine the y-intercept of a linear function f(x) = y, substitute x = 0
and solve for the value of y. This value is the y-intercept. To determine the
x-intercept of the linear function, substitute y = 0 and solve for the value of
y. This value is the x-intercept.

4. To determine a point on the graph of a given linear function y = f(x):

a. Get any element from the domain of the linear function. Recall that the
domain of any linear function is the set of real numbers. This element
is the abscissa of the point.
b. Substitute this abscissa to x in the linear function.
c. Solve for the corresponding value of y. This value is the ordinate of the
point.
d. Repeat steps a to c using other element from the domain of the linear
function to determine other points on the graph of the linear function.

5. To determine f(x) = mx + b, given the slope and y-intercept of the linear
function, substitute the given slope to m and the given y-intercept to b.

6. To determine f(x) = y = mx + b, given the x- and y-intercept of the linear
function, substitute the given x-intercept to a and the given y-intercept to b
in the form of the equation
1
b
y
a
x
= +
and then, solve for y in terms of x.

7. To determine f(x) = y = mx + b, given the slope and one point of the linear
function, substitute the given slope to m and the coordinates of the given
19
point to x
1
and y
1
in the form of the equation y y
1
= m(x x
1
)and then,
solve for y in terms of x.

8. To determine f(x) = y = mx + b, given any two points of the linear function,
substitute the coordinates of the first point to x
1
and y
1
, and the
coordinates of the second point to x
2
and y

in the form of the equation
