Domain:
8.F.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 a
situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
Functions
Cluster:
Use functions to model relationships between quantities.
Type: ______Knowledge
Knowledge Targets
Recognize that slope is
determined by the constant rate
of change.
Recognize that the y-intercept is
the initial value where x=0.
