FINDING THE RULE OF A LINEAR FUNCTION Direct variation linear function: y = ax 1. Calculate the gate of change a using two points that verify the rule of this Ea function. a == 23. a Ea |» 2. We get the rule: y = ax. Fx.: Andy earns an hourly wage at the pharmacy where he works. Determine the rule of the function which associates the number x of hours worked with Andy's salary y. 1. Rate of change a $12/hour (hourly wage) 2. Rule:y = 12x Partial variation linear function: y = ax +b function. Determine the initial value b after replacing x and y in the rule y= ax + b, by one of the points (x, y) verifying the rule of the function. . We get the rule: y = ax +b Calculate the rate of change a using two points that verify the rule of this x me *. 2 Ex.: Julie earns an hourly wage and a base salary at her job. Determine the rule which associates the number x of hours worked with the total salary y earned by Julie. Rate of change a = 255=150 = $8/h (hourly wage) 00 Find the initial value b (base salary): = The rule is of the form y = 8x + b. — Knowing that the point (10, 130) verifies the rule of this function, replace x and y in the rule by the coordinates of this point: 130 = 8 x 10 + b. ~ Deduce that b = $50.

Mr. Smith is a member of a tennis club. During the year, if he plays 23 games he pays a total of $447 and if he plays 35 games he pays $615. If this situation follows a linear model, how much will he pay the year where he plays 46 games? G. A hotel’s water reservoir contains 42 750 litres of water. After 3 days, 34 200 litres remain. If the water continues to be used at the same rate, a) how many litres will remain after 8 days? b) after how many days will the reservoir be empty? J. To buy a license to organize a lottery, a charitable organization must pay a fixed amount and a TY; pay percentage on the total value of the printed lottery tickets. For $2000 of printed lottery tickets, the cost of the license is $90 and for $8000 tickets, the cost is $270.
