What is the solution set for the inequality y < 1 - 6x?

Back

The solution set includes all points (x, y) that satisfy the inequality, such as (-1, 1).

How do you find the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function?

Back

The axis of symmetry can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) from the quadratic equation in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

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).

How do you determine the slope from a graph?

Back

To determine the slope from a graph, select two points on the line, calculate the rise (change in y) and run (change in x), and divide rise by run.
