PreAlgebra C1/C2/C3
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| like terms | Terms of an expression which have the same variables raised to the same exponents. |
| simplest form | The simplest form of an algebraic expression is one which has no like terms and no parentheses. |
| linear expression | An Algebraic expression in which the exponent of the variables is 1 . |
| literal equation | An equation that has two or more variables . |
| inequality | A mathematical sentence that compares expressions. |
| solution of an inequality | A value that makes the inequality true. |
| solution set | The set of all numbers which make a mathematical statement true. |
| graph of an inequality | A graph that shows all the solutions of the inequality on a number line. |
| linear equation | An equation whose graph is a line. |
| solution of a linear equation | All of the point on a line that make the equation true. |
| slope | A ratio of the change in y (the rise) to the change in x (the run)between any two points on a line.It is a measure of the steepness of the line . |
| rise | The change in y between any two point on a line. |
| run | The change in x between any two point on a line |
| x-intercept | The x-coordinate of the point where a line crosses the x-axis |
| y-intercept | The y-coordinate of the point where a line crosses the y-axis |
| slope-intercept form | A linear equation written in the form y=mx+b.The slope of the line is m, and the y-intercept of the line is b. |
| standard form | The standard form of a linear equation is ax +by=c, where a and b are not both zero |
| point-slope form | A linear equation written in the form y-y1=(x-x1).The line passes through the point (x1,y1),and the slope of the line is m. |
