Linear Relations and Functions
State whether each function is a linear function. Write yes or no. Explain.
2
1. h(x) = 23 yes, it is in the form of mx plus b 2. y = 𝑥 yes, it is in the form mx plus b

3. y = 𝑥 no, because a number is divided by a variable 4. 9 – 5xy = 2 no because two variables are being multiplied together

7. 3y – 5 = 0 3y =5 A:0 B:3 C:5 8. x = − 𝑦 + 3/4 = x + 2/7y A: 1 B:2/7 C:3/4

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the graph of each equation. Then graph the equation using the
intercepts.
9. y = 2x + 4 10. 2x + 7y = 14
x intercpt: -2 x intercpt: 7
y intercept: 4 y intercept: 2
x intercpt: -2 x intercpt: 1
y intercept: -4 y intercept: 3
13. MEASURE The equation y = 2.54x gives the length y in centimeters corresponding to a length x in inches. What is
the length in centimeters of a 1-foot ruler?
14. LONG DISTANCE For Meg’s long-distance calling plan, the monthly cost C in dollars is given by the linear
function C(t) = 6 + 0.05t, where t is the number of minutes talked.
a. What is the total cost of talking 8 hours? of talking 20 hours? C(8 hours) = $32 C(20 hours) = $66
b. What is the effective cost per minute (the total cost divided by the number of minutes talked) of talking 8 hours? of
talking 20 hours?
