Objective
To identify and represent patterns that describe linear functions
In the Solve It, you identified variables whose value depends on the value of another variable. In a relationship between variables, the dependent variable changes in response to another variable, the independent variable. Values of the independent variable are called inputs. Values of the dependent variable are called outputs.
Essential Understanding The value of one variable may be uniquely determined by the value of another variable. Such relationships may be represented using tables, words, equations, sets of ordered pairs, and graphs.
In the diagram below, what is the relationship between the number of rectangles and the perimeter of the figure they form? Represent this relationship using a table, words, an equation, and a graph.
