In 2008, Harvard Stem Cell Institute principal faculty member Kevin Eggan first raised the possibility of using ALS patient-derived stem cells to better understand the disease and identify therapeutic targets for new drugs.
If f(x) is linear, the graph of y = f(x) is a straight line. The parameter m in the first two formulas is the slope of this line. In the general form, the slope is -A/B if B 0 and infinite if B = 0. In the slope-intercept form, the parameter b is the y-intercept. In the point-slope form, the point (x0, y0) is a point on the line y = f(x). Any point (x0, y0) on the line will lead to an equivalent equation. We will frequently have to perform the following calculations with linear equations:
2.4 Linear Functions The graph of a linear function is a line. To graph a linear function requires at least two points on the line. Often the easiest points to find are the x and y-intercepts. To find the y-intercept, replace x with 0 and solve for y; and to find the x intercept replace y with 0 and solve for x. Graph each linear function. Give the domain and range. 1.
