Jorge starts 2 feet in front of a motion detector. For the first 3 seconds, Jorge walks away from the detector at a constant rate of 2 feet per second. Then he stands still for 4 seconds. Then he walks toward the motion detector at a constant rate, walking 8 feet in 6 seconds. Create a graph (distance from the motion detector, in feet, versus time, in seconds) to model this situation. Be sure to label and scale your graph axes.
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
