Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it goes (positive slope goes up, negative slope goes down).

Front

What does it mean for a graph to be translated?

Back

Translation of a graph means shifting it horizontally or vertically without changing its shape or orientation.

Front

What is the transformation of the graph when the slope increases?

Back

When the slope increases, the graph becomes steeper, indicating a greater rate of change.

Front

What is the transformation of the graph when a constant is added to the function?

Back

Adding a constant to the function translates the graph vertically. If the constant is positive, it shifts up; if negative, it shifts down.
