QuestionAnswer
slope the slope m of a nonvertical line is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two points (x1,y1) y y1y2) on the line
run the horizontal change in a line
rise the vertical change in a line
point-slope form an equation of a nonvertical line written in the form y-y1=m(x-x1) and has a slope of m
standard form ax+by=c, where a, b and c are real numbers and a and b are not both zero.
x-intercept the x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis
y-intercept the y-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the y-axis
slope-intercept form a linear equation written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept of the equation's graph
family of functions a group of functions with similar characteristics
parent linear functions the function f(x)=x
parallel lines two lines in the same plane that don't intersect
perpendicular lines two lines in the same plane that intersect to form a right angle
direct variation the relationship of two variables x and y if there is a nonzero number a such that y=ax. if y=ax, then y is said to vary directly with x.
inverse variation the relationship of two variables a and y is there is a nonzero number a such that y=a/x. if y+a/x,
best-fit line the line that most closely follows a trend in data , found using technology

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
