Linear vs. Exponential Functions

The Three Meter Race

IM I Functions

Linear Functions

It is important that you finish this class knowing the different representations of  a function, features of functions.
​Linear functions begin with
y = x.  


Linear functions have a constant rate of change as opposed to exponential functions which have a variable rate of change.

---

Linear functions can be written in different forms. The parent function, y = x, can be transformed by changing the slope and y-intercept.

The Exponential function

Exponential functions do not have a constant rate of change.
