Question
Answer
Equations of Horizontal and Vertical Lines   If y= constant, the graph is a horizontal line If x= constant, the graph is a vertical line  
🗑
Solution, Equation Containing two Variables   When an equation with two variables is an ordered pair that makes the equation a TRUE statement  
🗑
Substitution   A method of solving a system of equations by solving one equation to get one of the variables and substituting the result in the other equation  
🗑
X- axis and Y- axis   The two number lines  
🗑
Ordered Pair   (number, number)  
🗑
Slope   The ratio of a line rise ---- run  
🗑
System of Equations   two or more equations with the same variables  
🗑
Linear Combination or Addition- Subtraction   The result after multiplying two quantities by a constant, then adding the results  
🗑
Scale   Putting a number every 5 units on the two axes  
🗑
Graph   The point on the plane  
🗑
Quadrants   The axes divide the graph paper into four regions  
🗑
Slope of Horizontal Lines   0  
🗑
Slope of Vertical Lines   No slope  
🗑
Abscissa   The first number in an ordered pair  
🗑
Point - Slope form of a Linear Equation   An equation in the form y-y1=m(x-x1) The slope is m, and a fixed point on the other line is (x,y). The variables x and y stand for coordinates of a variable on the line  
🗑
Y-Intercept   The value of y when x is 0  
🗑
X-Intercept   The value of x when y is 0  
🗑
Slope- Intercept Form   An equation of the form y=mx+b, where m and b are constants -The constant m is the slope -The constant b is the y-intercept  
🗑
Solution of a System   An ordered pair that satisfies ALL the equations in the system  
🗑
Solution Set   The set of all solutions to an equation  
🗑
Coordinates   To gather the two numbers (number,number) which create a point in a plane  
🗑
Cartesian Coordinate System   The whole system- x-axis, y-axis, points on the plane; named after Rene Descartes  
🗑
Run   The change in x when going from one point to another on the Cartesian Coordinate System  
🗑
Rise   The change in y when going from one point to another on the Cartesian Coordinate System  
🗑
Ordinate   The second number in an ordered pair  
🗑
Simultaneous Equations   Equations in a system that can be solved at the same time  
🗑
