Question
Answer
Absolute value functions   A function with a V-shaped graph that opens up or down. y=|x|  
🗑
Constant of variation for direct variation   The nonzero constant k in the function y=kx  
🗑
Constant of variation for inverse variation   The nonzero constant k in the function y=k/x  
🗑
Direct variation   A linear function defined by an equation of the form y=kx, where k≠0  
🗑
Linear equation   An equation whose graph forms a straight line.  
🗑
Linear parent function   The simplest form of a linear function. ex. y=x  
🗑
Opposite reciprocals   A number of the form -b/a, where a/b is a nonzero rational number. The product of a number and its opposite reciprocal is -1.  
🗑
Parallel lines   Two lines in the same plane that never intersect. They never have the same slope.  
🗑
Parent function   The simplest function with these characteristics. ex. y=x is the ___ ___ for the family of linear equations of the form y=mx+b  
🗑
Perpendicular lines   Lines the intersect to form right angles. Two lines are ___ if the product of their slope is -1.  
🗑
Point-slope form   A linear equation of a non-vertical line written as y-y1=m(x-x1). The line passes through the point (x1,y1) with slope m.  
🗑
Rate of change   The relationship between two quantities that are changing. Also called slope.  
🗑
Slope   The ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change.  
🗑
Slope-intercept form   y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.  
🗑
Standard form of a linear equation   Ax+By=C, where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not zero  
🗑
Translation   A transformation that shifts a graph horizontally, vertically, or both.  
🗑
X-intercept   The x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis.  
🗑
Y-intercept   The y-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the y-axis.  
🗑
