What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line. It can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the x-intercept of a graph represent?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, meaning the value of y is zero at that point.

Front

What does the y-intercept of a graph represent?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, meaning the value of x is zero at that point.

Front

How can you determine if a table shows y as a function of x?

Back

A table shows y as a function of x if each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value. If any x-value is repeated with different y-values, it is not a function.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

Front

What is the difference between a function and a relation?

Back

A function is a specific type of relation where each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value). A relation can have multiple outputs for a single input.

Front

What is a vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a curve is a function. If any vertical line intersects the curve more than once, it is not a function.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data or mathematical relationships, typically plotted on a coordinate plane.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be increasing?

Back

A function is increasing if, as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase.
