| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Best-Fit Line | The line that most closely approximates the data in a scatter plot |
| Correlation coefficient | A value that shows how close data points are to a line |
| Inverse relation | A relation where the set of ordered pairs are switched, as in the x's with the y's and the y's with the x's |
| Linear interpolation | The use of a linear equation to predict values that are inside of the data range |
| Median-fit line | A type of best-fit line that is calculated using the medians of the coordinates of the data points |
| Parallel lines | Lines in the same plane that do not intersect and either have the same slope or are vertical lines |
| Point-slope form | An equation of the form y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1,) is a given point on a non-vertical line |
| Scatter Plot | A scatter plot shows the relationship between a set of data with two variables, graphed as ordered pairs on a coordinate plane |
| Bivariate data | Data with two variables |
| Inverse function | Function that undoes the action of another function |
| Linear extraploration | The use of a linear equation to predict values that are outside the range of data |
| Linear regression | An algorithm to find a precise line of fit for a set of data |
| Line of fit | A line that describes the trend of the data in a scatter plot |
| Perpendicular Lines | Lines that intersect to form a right angle, have opposite reciprocal slopes |
| Rate of Change | How a quantity is changing with respect to a change in another quantity |
| Slope-Intercept Form | An equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept |
