Question | Answer |
A single number, a variable, or a coefficient-variable multiplied together | Term |
Terms with matching variables, matching exponents, and constants | Algebraic Terms |
A number that is multiplied with a variable in an algebraic term | Coefficient. Example in 4x, the coefficient is the number 4. |
A letter symbol that stands in for a number that we don't know yet in an algebraic term | Variable. Example in 4x-7 = 5, the variable is the letter x |
A number on its own (it's "constantly lonely") | Constant. Examples x + 5 = 9, the constants are 5 and 9 |
A set of values that show where a point is on a plane (graph) | Coordinates (x,y) |
y1 – y2
x1 – x2 | Slope Formula |
A slope that RISES upward from Left/Quadrant 3 to Right/Quadrant 1 | Positive Slope |
A slope that FALLS from Left(Quadrant 4) to Right/Quadrant 2 | Negative Slope |
Vertical lines on a coordinate plane (graph) | No Slope/Undefined |
Horizontal lines on a coordinate plane (graph) | Zero Slope |
An equation where the graph is a line; The points on the line are the solutions to the equation. | Linear Equation |
Name the steps to graph a linear equation. | 1. Make a table of values using the equation 2. Plot the (x,y) ordered pairs 3. Draw a line through points with arrows 4. Write the original equation on the line |
Lines that intersect and form vertical angles; The angles are opposite from each other and are congruent | Vertical Angles |
A1 | A prime |
Adding the same number to each side of an equation produces an equivalent equation | The Addition Property of Equality |
Subtracting the same number from each side of an equation produces an equivalent equation | The Subtraction Property of Equality |
Multiplying each side of an equation by the same number (its reciprocal) produces an equivalent equation | The Multiplication Property of Equality |
Dividing each side of an equation by the same number produces an equivalent equation | The Division Property of Equality |
