| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| like term | terms of an expression which have the same variable raised to the same exponents. |
| simplest form | the simplest form of an algebraic expression is who which has no like terms and no parentheses. |
| linear expression | An algebraic expression in which the exponent of the variable is 1 |
| literal equation | An equation that has two or more variables |
| inequality | a mathematical sentence that compares expression |
| solution of an inequality | a value that makes the inequality true |
| solution set | the set of all numbers which makes 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 whoso graph is a line |
| solution of a linear equation | all of the point on a line that makes the equations true |
| slope | a ratio of the change in y (the rise) ti the change in x (the run) between any two points on the line. It is measure of the steepness of line |
| rise | The change in y between any two points on a line |
| run | the change in x between any two points on the line |
| x-intercept | the x-coordinate of the points 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 ant 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=m (x - x1). The line passes through the point (x1, y1), and the slope of the line is m |
