| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Complex Fraction | a fraction that has at least one fraction in the numerator,denominator,or both |
| Constant of Proportionality | the number k in the direct variation equation y=kx the constant of proportionality in the equation y= 2x is 2 |
| Coordinate Plane | a coordinate plane is formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line and a vertical number line |
| Cross Products | in the proportion a.b=c.d, the products a.d and b.c are cross products |
| Cross Products Property | property-the cross product of a proportion are equal |
| Direct Variation | two quantities x and y show direct variation when y=kx,where k is a number and k = 0 |
| Ordered Pair | a pair of numbers (x and y) used to locate a point in a coordinate plane;the first number is the x-coordinate and the second coordinate is the y-coordinate |
| Origin | a pair of numbers (x and y) used to locate a point in a coordinate plane;the first number is the x-coordinate and the second coordinate is the y-coordinate |
| Proportion | a equation stating that two ratios are equivalent |
| Proportionality | two quantities that form a proportion are proportional |
| Quadrants | the four regions created by the intersection of the horizontal and vertical number lines in a coordinate plane |
| Rate | a ratio of two quantities using different units |
| Ratio | a comparison of two quantities using division;the ratio of a to b (where b = 0) can be written as a to b,a:b,a over b |
| Ratio table | a table used to find and organize equivalent ratios |
| Slope | the slope m of a line is a ratio of the change in y (the rise) to the change in the x (the run) in any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a line. It is a measure of the steepness of a line |
| Unit Rate | a rate with a denominator of 1 |
| X-axis | the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane |
| X-coordinate | the first coordinate in a ordered pair,which indicates how many units to move to the left or right from the origin |
| Y-axis | the vertical number line in a coordinate plane |
| Y-coordinate | the second coordinate in a ordered pair,which indicates how many units to move up or down from the origin |
