Linear Functions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Extrapolate | To estimate values within a known range by assuming that the estimated value follows logically from the known values. |
| Slope | The rate at which an ordinate of a point of a line with a coordinate plane changes with respect to a change in the abscissa. |
| Y-intercept | the point where the graph of a function intersects with the y-axis of the coordinate system. |
| Regression | When the regression line is linear(y=ax+b), the regression constant(a)that represents the rate of change of one variable (y)as a function of changes in the other (x); it is a slope of the regression line. |
| Linear Function | a first-degree polynomial function of one variable. |
| Interpolate | A method of constructing new data points within a range of a discrete set of known data points. |
| Correlation Coefficient | indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two random variables. |
| Regression Equation | The equation representing the relationship between selected values of one variable(x)and observed values of the other(y); it permits the prediction of the most probable values of y. |
| Residuals | A quantity remaining after other things have been subtracted or allowed for. |
| Best Fit Line | A line on a graph showing the general direction that a group of points seem to be heading. |
