I would set up a table of values and calculate several of the values of the variables (I would try to calculate the "interesting" values setting one to zero and calculating the other(s), guessing at a maximum or minimum value etc.
Then I would plot the values on graph paper.
A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line.
You could put the equation in slope-intercept form or in parent linear function or even make a table of values.
If a graph is a function, it will always have y=... or x=... (or anoher letter equals an equation) for example y= 3x-12 is a function
You can determine if a function is linear by examining its graph or its equation. A linear function will produce a straight line when graphed, and its equation can be expressed in the form (y = mx + b), where (m) and (b) are constants. In contrast, a nonlinear function will create a curve or other shapes on the graph, and its equation may involve exponents, products of variables, or other non-linear terms.
The coordinates of the points on the curve represent solutions of the equation.
MATH 1003?
The slope of your quadratic equation in general form or standard form.
A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line.
A function is an equation that is a straight line when plotted on a graph.
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
You cannot, necessarily. Given a graph of the tan function, you could not.
You could put the equation in slope-intercept form or in parent linear function or even make a table of values.

If the function is a straight line equation that passes through the graph once, then that's a function, anything on a graph is a relation!

On my graphing calculator, a TI84 Plus, I can enter the equation into the Y= (a button) and then graph it by hitting the Graph button.
