Write Functions from Graphs & Tables

This document provides instructions for writing functions from graphs, tables, and ordered pairs. It outlines three key steps: 1. Find the slope using the rise over run formula or by calculating (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) from ordered pairs. 2. Find the y-intercept by where the graph crosses the y-axis or using the substitution method with an ordered pair. 3. Write the equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+b and rewrite using function notation f(x)=mx+b. The document includes examples of writing functions from a graph, table, and two ordered pairs. It provides practice problems for the student to write additional functions.

Writing Functions from Graphs, Tables, and Ordered Pairs

Name: ____________________________________ Date: _______________


Directions: Write the functions in the following tables in slope-intercept form. Then rewrite using
function notation.

𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃 → 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃
𝒎 = __________________ 𝒃 = __________________
Steps to Writing

Step 1: Find the
slope.
Passes through the
Find the slope by… points
𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑒 (−4, −2) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (−3, 5).

𝑅𝑢𝑛
𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑦

𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑥
𝑦2 −𝑦1

𝑥2 −𝑥1

Step 2: Find the y-


intercept.
Passes through the
*Where the graph points
crosses the y-axis.
(−4, −2) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (−3, 5).
*where x=0.

***If there’s no x=0


use the substitution
method.

1.Plug the m into


the equation
y=mx+b.
2. Choose an order
pair then substitute
the x and y.
3. Solve for b. (Get
b alone).

Step 3: Write the


equation.

Plug the slope and


y-intercept into the
equation y=mx+b.

Rewrite using
function notation:
f(x)=mx+b
