At what rate is the shark growing? State your answer as a reduced fraction. 1. ____ inches per month 2. Find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the shark's length
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
