Slope Intercept Form Explicit Form: given y-intercept

𝟏𝟏 𝒚𝒚 = 𝒎𝒎𝒎𝒎 + 𝒃𝒃 𝒚𝒚 = 𝒂𝒂(𝒃𝒃)𝒙𝒙
𝒚𝒚 = 𝒙𝒙 + 𝟏𝟏 where m is the slope and b is 𝒚𝒚 = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏(𝟑𝟑)𝒙𝒙 where a is the y-intercept
𝟐𝟐 the y-intercept and b is the growth factor

Point Slope Form Explicit Form: given a point

𝟏𝟏 𝒚𝒚 = 𝒚𝒚𝟏𝟏 + 𝒎𝒎(𝒙𝒙 − 𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ) 𝒚𝒚 = 𝒚𝒚𝟏𝟏 (𝒃𝒃)𝒙𝒙−𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏
𝒚𝒚 = 𝟑𝟑 + (𝒙𝒙 − 𝟒𝟒) where m is the slope and 𝒚𝒚 = 𝟕𝟕(𝟐𝟐)𝒙𝒙−𝟏𝟏 where b is the growth factor and
𝟐𝟐 (𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ,𝒚𝒚𝟏𝟏 ) is the coordinates of (𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ,𝒚𝒚𝟏𝟏 ) is a coordinate of a point on the
a point on the line. curve.

Recursion Formula Recursion Formula

𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏) = 𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏 − 𝟏𝟏) + 𝒅𝒅 𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏) = 𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏 − 𝟏𝟏) ∗ 𝑹𝑹
𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ) = 𝒚𝒚𝟏𝟏 𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ) = 𝒚𝒚𝟏𝟏
𝒇𝒇(𝟏𝟏) = 𝟑𝟑 𝒇𝒇(𝟏𝟏) = 𝟏𝟏𝟏𝟏
𝟏𝟏 Given an initial value 𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ) Given an initial value 𝒇𝒇(𝒙𝒙𝟏𝟏 ) and R,
𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏) = 𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏 − 𝟏𝟏) ∗ 𝟑𝟑
𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏) = 𝒇𝒇(𝒏𝒏 − 𝟏𝟏) + and d, where d is the where R is the constant ratio between
𝟐𝟐 constant difference in consecutive terms (used only for
consecutive terms (used only sequences)
for sequences)
