|---|---|
| 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-intercept of a linear function |
| linear equation | an equation with a graph that is a straight line |
| linear relationships | a relationship for which the graph is a straight line |
| rate of change | a rate that describe how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity |
| rise | the vertical change between any two points on a line |
| run | the horizontal change between any two points on a line |
| similar figures | figures that have the same shape but not necessarily |
| slope | the rate of change 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-intercept |
| slope triangles | right triangles that fall on the same line coordinate plane |
| solution | consist of two numbers,one for each variable, that make the equation true or would be on the graph of the line |
| y-intercept | the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis |
