• true

• false

A _________ is a pair of numbers used to determine the position of a point on a graph.

• line graph

• circle graph

The slope of the graph tells you how much y changes for every change in x.

• false

To calculate the slope of a graph, you need the coordinates of one point on a linear graph.

• true

• false

In a linear graph , the data points yield a curved line.

• true

• false
