Coordinates | Bring the different elements of (a complex activity or organization) into a relationship that will ensure efficiency or harmony. |

Independent Variable | The things I change in the experiment |
Dependent Variable | The things that change depending on the independent |
Control Variable | Things that stay the same in the experiment |
Best Fit Line | A line that does not connect the points just shows where there around |
Directly Proportional | is a mathematics term that refers to something being proportional in the order of the terms. It can be increasing or decreasing together and is usually with a constant ratio. |
Inversely Proportional | It means that if you change the mass by some factor then the acceleration changes by the reciprocal of that same factor |
Interpolate | Insert (something) between fixed points. |
Extrapolate | Extend the application of (a method or conclusion, esp. one based on statistics) to an unknown situation by assuming that existing |
