| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| constant of proportionality | A constant ratio of unit rate of two variable quantities. It is also called the constant of variegation. |
| constant of variation | The constant ratio in a direct variation. It is also called the constant of proportionality. |
| constant rate of change | The rate of change between any two points in a linear relationship is the same or constant. |
| corresponding parts | Parts of congruent or similar figures that are in the same relative position. |
| direct variation | A relationship between two variable quantities with a constant ratio. A proportional linear relationship. |
| initial value | The starting value in a real world situation in which an equation can be written. The y-intersect of a linear function. |
| linear equation | An algebraic expression in which the variable is raised to the first power, and variables are neither multiplexed nor divined. |
| linear relationships | A relationship for which the graph is a straight line. |
| rate of change | A rate the describes how one quantities changes in relation to another quantity. |
| rise | The vertical chance between any two points on a line. |
| run | The horizontal chance between any two points on a line. |
| similar figures | Figures that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. |
| slope | The rate changes between any two points on a line. The ratio of the rise, or vertical change to the run or horizontal change. |
| slope-intercept form | An equation written in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intersect. |
| slope triangles | Right triangles that fall on the same line on the coordinate plane. |
| solution | A solution is an answer to a problem, a method for dealing with a difficult situation, or a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances. The specific definition depends on the context: |
| unit rate | A rate in which the first quantity is compared to 1 unit of the second quantity. |
| y-intercept | The y- coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. |
