A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a plane, typically written in the form (x, y).

Front

Distribute

Back

To multiply each term inside a set of parentheses by a factor outside the parentheses.

Front

X-Intercept

Back

The point where a graph crosses the x-axis, where y is zero.

Front

Slope-Intercept Form

Back

A linear equation of the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

Zeros

Back

The values of x that make a function equal to zero; also known as roots or solutions.

Front

Slope

Back

A measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over the run between two points on the line.

Front

Y-Intercept

Back

The point where a graph crosses the y-axis, where x is zero.

Front

Standard Form

Back

A way of writing down very large or very small numbers easily, or a way of writing equations in the form Ax + By = C.

Front

Vertical

Back

A line or direction that is perpendicular to the horizon. It is also parallel to the y axis.

Front

Horizontal

Back

A line or direction that is parallel to the horizon. It is also parallel to the x-axis.
