FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a nonlinear function?
Back
A nonlinear function is a function that does not create a straight line when graphed. The rate of change is not constant, and it can be represented by equations that include exponents, roots, or other non-linear terms.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you identify a linear function from a table of values?
Back
A linear function will have a constant difference in the y-values for equal intervals in the x-values. This means the ratio of the change in y to the change in x is constant.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the slope of a linear function represent?
Back
The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the y-intercept in a linear function?
Back
The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis. It is the value of y when x is 0.
