Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

term
definition
quadrant   Bfour regions into which the coordinate plane is divided by the x-axis and the y-axis  
🗑
standard form of a linear equation   Ax+By=C, where A,B and C are real numbers and A and B are not both zero  
🗑
linear function   the equation Ax+By=C represents a linear function provided B does not equal 0  
🗑
x-intercept   the x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis  
🗑
y-intercept   the y-intercept of a point where the graph crosses the y-axis  
🗑
slope   the slope of a nonvertical line is the ratio of the vertical change(rise) to the horizontal change(run) between any two points on the line.  
🗑
rate of change   a comparison of a change in one quantity with a changge in another quantity.  
🗑
slope-intercept form   a linear equation written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the equation's graph.  
🗑
parallel   two lines in the same plane that do not intersect.  
🗑
direct variation   the relationship of two variablezsx and y if there is a nonzero number a such that y=ax. if y=ax, then y is said to vary directly with x.  
🗑
constant of variation   the nonzero constant a in a direct variation equation y=ax or in an inverse variation equation y=a/x.  
🗑
function notation   a way to name a function is using the symbol f(x) instead of y. the symbol f(x) is read as "the value of f at x" or as "f of x".  
🗑
family of functions   a group of functions with similar characteristics.  
🗑
parent linear function   the function f(x)=x, which is the most basic function in the family of linear functions.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
