Section 1. Linear Models Before ou can stud linear models, ou must understand so basic concepts in Algebra. One of the main algebra concepts used in linear models is the slope-intercept equation of a line. The slope intercept equation is usuall epressed as follows: Standard linear model m b m slope b Intercept In this equation the variable m represents the slope of the equation and the variable b represents the -intercept of the line. When studing linear models, ou must understand the concept of slope. Slope is usuall defined as rise over run or change in over change in. In general slope measures the rate in change. Thus, the idea of slope has man applications in mathematics including velocit, temperature change, pa rates, cost rates, and several other rates of change. Slope Slope m rise run 1 1 change in change in Basic Algebra Skills (Slope and -intercept) In net eamples, we will find the slope of a line given two points on the line.

Section 1. Quadratic Models Graph of Quadratic Models The graph of a quadratic model alwas results in a parabola. The general form of a quadratic function is given in the following definition. A quadratic function is a function where the graph is a parabola and the equation is of the form: a b c where a b The -coordinate of verte is given b the equation: a The verte is the turning point on the graph of a parabola. If the parabola opens upward, then the verte is the lowest point of the graph. If the parabola opens downward, then the verte is the highest point on the graph. The direction of the parabola opens can be determined b the sign of the term or the a term in the above equation. If a, then the parabola open downward. Similarl if a, then the parabola opens upward. (See graphs below in figure 1-1) Figure 1-1 A parabola where a and the verte is the lowest point on the graph
