Lesson Plan

Extract the rate of change from a function represented as an equation, a table, a graph, or a verbal description

Extract the initial value (y-intercept) from a function represented as an equation, a table, a graph, or a verbal description

Compare the rate of change of two functions when each is given in a different representation (e.g., one as a table and the other as an equation)

Compare the initial values of two functions when each is given in a different representation

Determine which of two functions has a greater value at a specific input by reading or computing outputs from different representations

8.F.A.2

8.F.A.2: Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
