There are many relationships that have a 1) Starting Point 2) Dependent and 3) Independent Variables.
A linear relationship is made by a constant rate. A linear relationship MUST have a constant rate.
In tables of linear relationships, we also can identify these four components.
Below is a table showing how much money Jose has for the number of brownies he sold at a bake sale.
Find the four components of a linear relationship.
#of brownies sold Total money Jorge has
0 25
2 29
4 33
6 37
8 41

Unit Rate: $_25___
Why do we know this is a linear relationship? ___________________
Dependent Variable: __y____ = Total of money
Independent Variable: __x___ = number of brownies sold
Starting Value: _____________________________
Linear Equation: _________________________________________
