| 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 expression with a graph that is a straight line. |
