| 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 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 graph. |
| Rate of Change | A rate that describes 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 the same size. |
| 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 Triangle | Right triangles that fall on the same line on the coordinate plane. |
| Solution | The solution of a linear equation consist of two numbers, one for each variable, that makes the equation true |
| Y-Intercept | The y-coordinate of a point where the line crosses the y-axis. |
