| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Coincide | To overlap, or in the case of lines, to be identical. |
| Feasible Region | A region on a graph that includes all possible solutions to a system of inequalities. |
| Ordered Pair | A combination of x- and y -coordinates that describe a point on a graph. |
| Parallel Lines | Two lines with equal slopes that never intersect. |
| System of Linear Equations | A group of linear equations that have the same variables and are used together to solve a problem. A linear equation can be written in the form y = mx + b. The graph of a linear equation is a straight line. |
| Coefficients | Numbers that multiply variables. |
| Linear Inequality | An inequality in which the variable is of degree one. |
| Slope-Intercept Form | A form of a linear equation that includes the slope of the line and the value of the y-intercept. |
| Standard form of a Linear Equation | A linear equation written in the form Ax + By = C. |
| Undefined | A value that cannot be computed. |
| X-axis | The horizontal axis in a Cartesian coordinate system. |
| Y-axis | The vertical axis in a Cartesian coordinate system. |
| X-intercept | A point where the graph of a function crosses the x-axis. |
| Y-intercept | A point where the graph of a function crosses the y-axis. A function has at most one y-intercept. The y-intercept of the line with equation y = mx + b is the point (0, b). |
| Linear Function | A function whose graph is a line. |
| Slope | A measure of the steepness of a line. The slope equals rise divided by run for any two points on the line. A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope. A line that falls from left to right has a negative slope. |
| Dependent Variable | A variable whose value depends on the value of another variable. It is graphed on the vertical axis, or y-axis, of the xy-plane. |
| Independent Variable | The input variable in a function. Its value determines the value of the dependent variable. |
| Domain | The set of all possible values of the independent variable. It is also the set of all values a function takes as inputs. |
| Function | A special kind of relation in which each value of the input variable is paired with exactly one value of the output variable. |
| Interval Notation | A shorthand way of writing intervals using parentheses and brackets. |
| Range | The set of all possible values of the dependent variable. It is also the set of all values a function returns as outputs. |
| Relation | A pairing of one set of information with another set of information. |
| Absolute Value Function | f(x) = |x|. The magnitude of x. |
| Greatest Integer Function | The greatest integer less than or equal to x. f(x) = [x]. |
| Horizontal Line Test | A test to see if a function is one-to-one or many-to-one. If no horizontal line intersects a graph at more than one point, the function that produced that graph is one-to-one. |
| Many-to-One Function | A function in which two or more x-values map to a given y-value. |
| One-to-One Function | A function in which each y-value has a single x-value mapped to it. |
| Piecewise Functions | Functions made up of two or more functions, each defined over a portion of the original function's domain. |
| Vertical Line Test | A method for testing whether a given graph is a function. If a vertical line can be drawn that intersects the graph in two or more points, then the graph is not a function. If no such line can be drawn, the graph is a function. |
