Term | Definition |
---|---|
Units | A quantity used as a unit of measure. |
Variable | A letter that represents an unknown number. |
Axes | The vertical reference line on a graph (y-axis) and the horizontal reference line on a graph (x-axis) that intersect at a right angle to make the coordinate grid. |
Coordinates | A set of values that give an exact position on the coordinate plane. (X, Y) refers to how many units in the X-direction and Y-direction. |
Coordinate plane | The plane containing the x and y-axis |
Independent | X, the input variable of a function. |
Dependent | Y, the output variable of a function. |
Domain | All the input values of a function, the set of X. |
Range | All the output values of a function, the set of Y. |
Continuous | Data that can take EVERY data point in range. |
Discrete | Data that can only take CERTAIN data points in range. |
Correlation | The relationship between a set of x and y values. |
Scatterplot | A graph of plotted points that shows a relationship between two variables. |
Function | A relationship where each input, X, has exactly one output, Y. |
Positive Relationship | The relationship where both variables are increasing, or both variables are decreasing. |
Negative Relationship | The relationship where one variable is decreasing, while the other is increasing. |
Linear Relationship | A relationship with a constant rate of change, when graphed it makes a straight line. A function with a first degree variable. (i.e. x) |
Rate of Change | The steepness of a linear situation, the change in y over the change in x. |
Exponential Relationship | A relationship of growth or decay. (i.e. y=3x). |
Quadratic Relationship | The relationship with a second degree variable (i.e. x2). |
