Tables, Graphs Equations

Front

What is a table in mathematics?

Back

A table is a systematic arrangement of data, usually in rows and columns, that helps to organize and present information clearly.

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables, typically using points, lines, or bars.

Front

What is an equation?

Back

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, often containing variables.

Front

What is the independent variable?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment or equation, often represented on the x-axis of a graph.

Front

What is the dependent variable?

Back

The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or observed in an experiment, which changes in response to the independent variable, often represented on the y-axis of a graph.

How do you find the total number of people that can ride a roller coaster if you know the number of vehicles and the capacity per vehicle?

Back

Multiply the number of vehicles by the capacity per vehicle. For example, if there are 12 vehicles and each can hold 6 people, then 12 x 6 = 72 people.

Front

What does the slope of a graph represent?

Back

The slope of a graph represents the rate of change between the dependent and independent variables.

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that forms a straight line when graphed, typically in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is used to graph equations and functions, allowing for the visualization of relationships between variables.

Front

What does it mean for a variable to be 'constant'?

Back

A constant is a value that does not change, regardless of the values of other variables in an equation.
