Question
Answer
Constant increase situation   y=2x+5; 5 is the y-intercept or INITAL CONDITION or staring point in the situation; graph slants up from left to right; positive slope  
🗑
LINEAR FUNCTION (SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM)   y=mx=b or f(x)=mx+b  
🗑
Constand decrease situation   y=-2/3x=50; graph slants down from left to right; negative slope  
🗑
PIECEWISE LINEAR   union of segments or pieces of two or more linear functions  
🗑
LINEAR COMBINATION   EX: 20P + 32L  
🗑
STANDARD FORM OF AN EQUATION FOR A LINE   Ax+By=C; graph where A and B are not both 0 is a line  
🗑
Horizontal line   slope=0; y= #  
🗑
Vertical line   slope undefined; x=#  
🗑
Oblique line   Ax+By=C; A and B both not 0; slope= -A/B  
🗑
POINT-SLOPE THEOREM   If al ine contains (x1,y1) and has slope m, then it has equation y-y1=m(x-x1)  
🗑
Find an eqaution of the line thorugh (3,5) (6, -1)   1) find slope; m=-2 2)use ponit-slope form with either point; y-5=-2(x-3) 3) standard form; 2x+y=11  
🗑
ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE   a sequence with a constant difference between successive terms  
🗑
RECURSIVE FORMULA   a1 an=an-1+d  
🗑
EXPLICIT FORMULA   an= a1+(n-1)d  
🗑
GREATEST INTEGER SYMBOL [] (round down)   EX: [2 3/4]=2; [-2.1]=-3  
🗑
EX: Bottles are oackaged in cartons of 8. Write an equation that gives the nmber of complete cartons c packaged each day, if the company prepares b bottles each day.   c=[b/8]  
🗑
