What is the difference between an equation and an expression?

Back

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, while an expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operations without an equality sign.

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by each term in a binomial.

How do you combine like terms?

Back

To combine like terms, you add or subtract the coefficients of terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. For example, 3x + 5x = 8x.

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the rise over run (change in y over change in x). It is often represented by 'm' in the equation of a line.

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. It is represented by 'b' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b.

What is a quadratic equation?

Back

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of degree 2, typically in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants.
