| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| direct variation | a proportional relationship; the slope is the constant of proportionality; y=kx |
| constant | represented by k; ratio of y over x |
| positive slope | increasing from left to right |
| negative slope | decreasing from left to right |
| zero slope | horizontal line; equation only has y equals a number; y=5 |
| undefined slope | vertical line; equation on has x equals a number; x=3 |
| system of equations | a set of more than one equation with the same variables |
| proportional | y divided by x is constant; graph contains the origin; y=kx |
| non-proportional | y divided by x is not constant; graph has a positive or negative y intercept; y=mx+b |
| slope intercept form | the equation of a straight line in the form of y=mx+b |
