Find the linear function $f(x)$ whose graph has the given characteristics.
$m = \frac{2}{9}$, $y$-intercept $(0,4)$
$m = -\frac{8}{3}$, $y$-intercept $(0,-2)$
$m = -5$, $y$-intercept $(0,-\frac{2}{3})$
$m = -2$, passes through $(-5,1)$
$m = \frac{2}{3}$, passes through $(-4,-5)$
passes through $(-3,7)$ and $(-1,-5)$
$f(-5) = -3$ and $f(5) = 1$
Determine if the following relations correspond to linear functions whose graphs are parallel or perpendicular (specify which), or something else.
$y = 3x + 1$ and $2y = 6x -7$
$y + 3x = 1$ and $y = \frac{1}{3} x + 1$
$2x + 5y = 4$ and $x = -\frac{5}{2} y - 7$
$y = 2x - 1$ and $y = -\frac{1}{2} x + 3$
$y = 7-x$ and $y = x+3$
$y + 3x = 2y - x$ and $y = 4x + 1$
Find the inverse of each function given, if it exists.
$f(x) = -\frac{2}{3} x + 4$
$f(x) = 6 x - \frac{1}{2}$
$f(x) = 7$
$f(x) = \cfrac{x+4}{x-3}$
$f(x) = \cfrac{5x-3}{2x+1}$
$f(x) = \cfrac{x+6}{3x-4}$
$f^{-1}(x) = -\frac{3}{2} x + 6$
$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{6} x + \frac{1}{12}$
no inverse exists -- $f$ graphs as a horizontal line which spectacularly fails the horizontal line test
$f^{-1}(x) = \cfrac{3x+4}{x-1}$
$f^{-1}(x) = \cfrac{-x-3}{2x-5}$
$f^{-1}(x) = \cfrac{4x+6}{3x-1}$
Find the inverse of $f(x) = \cfrac{6x + 8}{2x+1}$ in two different ways.
