| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The 4 regions into which the coordinate plane is divided by the x- axis and y- axis | quadrants |
| Ax + By =C where A, B and C are real numbers and A and B are not both zero | Standard form of a linear equation |
| The equation Ax +By = C represents this provide B is not equal to zero | Linear function |
| The x coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x axis | X- intercept |
| The y coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the y axis | Y - intercept |
| ratio of the vertical change ( the rise) to the horizontal change ( the run) between any two points on a line | Slope |
| Another name for the slope of a line | Rate of change |
| A linear equation written in the y = mx + b where m is the slope and b in the y intercept | Slope intercept form |
| Two lines in the same plane that do not intercept | Parallel lines |
| The relationship of two variables x and y if there is a nonzero number a such that y = ax the y is said to vary directly with x | Direct variation |
| The nonzero constant a in a direct variation equation y = a/x | Constant of variation |
| A way to name a function using the symbol f(x) instead of y | Function notation |
