How do you interpret a scatter plot with decreasing y-values as x-values increase?

Back

It indicates a negative correlation, meaning as one variable increases, the other decreases.

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, representing the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How do you determine if a relationship is a function?

Back

A relationship is a function if each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of the line, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.
