Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals.

Part l. This is the graph of y=-1/2x+10 Use the graph to show equal intervals of x-values have equal differences of y-values.

a) think about an interval on the axis starting with p + k. What is the difference between x-values? What is the difference between the y-values for these x-values? Complete the table using y=-1/2+10.

b) The difference in the x-values for each interval is ___. This value is also constant because =-1/2(p+k)+10-(-1/2p+10)
=-1/2p-1/2k+10+1/2p-10
=-1/2k

d) Does your answer in part c depend on p? If not, what does it depend on?

Part ll. Use a similar method to prove that for any linear equation, y=mx+b, equal intervals result in growth by equal differences.

Step 1: If the equal interval is k, the two endpoints of the interval will be labeled p and p + k. Label the endpoints of the corresponding interval on the y-axis of the graph below. Hint: First, substitute x=p into y=mx+b. Next, substitute x=p+k into y=mx+b

Step 2: Find the difference between the endpoints of the interval on the y-axis.

(1)
[y-value at x=p]-

(2)
[y-value at x=p+k]

6. tim is trying to study but hours go by and he doesn't get anything done. what time management advice would tim? work in smaller chunks of time an hour or less whenever you have a few minutes to spare. create flashcards. talk to your instructor right away and make a plan together for how you can get back on track, take scheduled breaks only or allow yourself only 5-10 minute breaks find somewhere quiet like a library or school to study tum off your phone and/or tell others you are busy
