What is the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the x-axis. It occurs when y = 0.

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph crosses the y-axis. It occurs when x = 0.

Front

Solve for x: x - 8 = -5

Back

x = 3

Front

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).

Front

What does it mean for a function to be linear?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line, represented by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is a variable in algebra?

Back

A variable is a symbol, often a letter, that represents a number in mathematical expressions or equations.

Front

What is an equation?

Back

An equation is a mathematical statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, typically containing one or more variables.

Front

What is the difference between an expression and an equation?

Back

An expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operations without an equality sign, while an equation includes an equality sign.

Front

What does it mean to solve an equation?

Back

To solve an equation means to find the value(s) of the variable(s) that make the equation true.

Front

What is a coefficient?

Back

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression, indicating how many times the variable is multiplied.
