Question
Answer
Arithmetic Sequence   A sequence in which the difference between any two consecutive terms is the same.  
🗑
Common Difference   The difference between any two consecutive terms in an arithmetic sequence.  
🗑
Constant of Variation   The slope,or rate of change,in the equation y=kx, represented by k.  
🗑
Constant Rate of Change   The rate of change between any two data points in a linear relationship is the same or constant.  
🗑
Dependant Variable   The variable in a relation with a value that depends on the value of the independant variable.  
🗑
Direct Variation   A special type of linear equation that describes rate of change. A relationship such that as x increases in value, y increases or decreases at a constant rate.  
🗑
Family of Functions   A set of functions that is related in some way.  
🗑
Functio Notation   A way to name a function that is defined by an equation. In function notation, the equation y=3x-8 is written as f(x)=3x-8.  
🗑
Independant Variable   The variable in a function with a value that is subject to choice.  
🗑
Line of Fit   On a scatter plot, a line drawn that is very close to most of the data points. The line that best fits the data.  
🗑
Linear Equation   An equation in which the variable appear in separate terms and neither variable contains an exponent other than one. The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.  
🗑
Linear Relationship   Relationship that have straight line graphs.  
🗑
Point-Slope Form   An equation of the form y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a given point on a nonvertical line.  
🗑
Rate of Change   A change in one quantity with respect to another quantity.  
🗑
Sequence   An ordered list of numbers.  
🗑
Slope   The ratio of the rise, or vertical change, to the run, or horizontal change. The slope descirbes the steepness of the line.  
🗑
Slope-Intercept Form   A linear equation in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  
🗑
Subsitution   Use algebraic methods to find an exact solution of a system of equations.  
🗑
System of Equations   A set of two or more equations with the same variables.  
🗑
Term   Each number within a sequence is called a term.  
🗑
Vertical Line Test   If any vertical line drawn on the graph of a relation passes through no more than one point on the graph for each value of x in the domain, then the relation is a function.  
🗑
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.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
