What is the vertical line test?

Back

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

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a coordinate system, typically written as (x, y).

What is a linear function?

Back

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

What is a constant function?

Back

A constant function is a function that always returns the same value regardless of the input, represented as f(x) = c, where c is a constant.
