Standard - NY-8.F.1:
Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

Standard - NY-8.F.2:
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).

Standard - NY-8.F.3:
Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line. Recognize examples of functions that are linear and non-linear.

Standard - NY-8.F.4:
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

Standard - NY-8.F.5:
Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph.

Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described in a real-world context.
