# Math Notes: Linear Equations and Proportional Relationships
## 1. Graphing Linear Equations
- A linear equation forms a straight line when graphed.
- General form: **y = mx + b**
- **m** = slope (rise/run)
- **b** = y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)
## 2. Proportional Relationships
- A relationship is proportional when it can be expressed as **y = kx**, where **k** is the constant of proportionality.
- This means that as **x** increases, **y** increases at a constant rate.
- The graph of a proportional relationship passes through the origin (0,0).
## 3. Unit Rate from Tables and Equations
- The unit rate is how much of something you get for one unit.
- To find the unit rate from a table:
- Divide the output (y-value) by the input (x-value) for each pair.
- From an equation **y = kx**, the unit rate is **k** since it shows how much y changes with one additional x.
## 4. Graphing Proportional Relationships
- Plot points using pairs from the table (x, y).
- Draw a straight line that connects the points and goes through the origin.
- Make sure the line is even; it should continue equally in both directions.
## 5. Slope as Unit Rate
- The slope (m) in the equation **y = mx + b** is effectively the unit rate when dealing with proportional relationships.
- Positive slope = increasing relationship; negative slope = decreasing relationship.
- Remember: Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
## 6. Compare Proportional Relationships
- When comparing two proportional relationships, look at their slopes (unit rates).
- Higher slope means a steeper line and a larger rate of change.
- Example: If one relationship is **y = 2x** (slope = 2) and another is **y = 3x** (slope = 3), then the second has a faster rate of change.
## 7. Graphing Equations
- Use the slope and y-intercept to graph.
- From y-intercept, you can plot the first point.
- Use the slope to find another point by rising up and running right (or down left if the slope is negative).
- Make sure to draw the line through all of your points!
## 8. Slope-Intercept Form
- Slope-intercept form is a way to write linear equations: **y = mx + b**
- It makes it easy to identify the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).
- Useful for quickly graphing equations and understanding how changes to **m** and **b** affect the graph.
### Important Notes:
- Always label your axes when graphing.
- Check for proportional relationships by seeing if the ratio of y/x is constant.
- Practice makes perfect; do plenty of problems to get the hang of it!
