Lesson 2a <strong>–</strong> Linear Functions and Applications<br />

In lesson 2a, we take a close look at Linear Functions and how real world situations can be<br />

modeled using Linear Functions. We study the relationship between Average Rate of Change<br />

and Slope and how to interpret these characteristics. We also learn how to create Linear Models<br />

for data sets using Linear Regression.<br />

Lesson Objectives:<br />

1. Compute AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE<br />

2. Explain the meaning of AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE as it relates to a given<br />

situation<br />

3. Interpret AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE as SLOPE<br />

4. Solve application problems that involve LINEAR FUNCTIONS<br />

5. Use LINEAR REGRESSION to write LINEAR FUNCTIONS that model given data<br />

sets<br />

6. Solve application problems that involve using LINEAR REGRESSION<br />
