Units 1 - 4 Review Game - Slope and Functions

Front

What is the definition of slope in a linear function?

Back

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

Front

How do you determine if a table represents a function?

Back

A table represents a function if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value).

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The formula for slope (m) is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a linear function?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, showing a direct relationship.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a linear function?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, showing an inverse relationship.

Front

What is the initial value in a linear function?

Back

The initial value is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x is 0.

Front

What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change is the slope of the function, representing how much y changes for a unit change in x.

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.

Front

How can you identify the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be identified by selecting two points on the line and calculating the rise over run between them.

Front

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.
