What is the slope of a linear function?

Back

The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function. It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

What is a y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. It is the value of y when x is 0.

Front

How do you determine if two lines are congruent?

Back

Two lines are congruent if they can be transformed into one another through rotations, translations, or reflections without changing their size or shape.

What does it mean for a function to be linear?

Back

A function is linear if it can be graphically represented as a straight line. This means it has a constant slope and can be expressed in the form y = mx + b.

How do you find the slope from an equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

In the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

What is the difference between a positive and negative slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, while a negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

What is a transformation in geometry?

Back

A transformation is an operation that moves or changes a shape in some way, such as translation, rotation, or reflection.

What is the significance of the coordinates of a point?

Back

The coordinates of a point (x, y) indicate its position on a Cartesian plane, where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance.

How do you identify the domain of a function?

Back

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.

Front

What is the range of a function?

Back

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.
