Vertical/Horizontal and Linear/Nonlinear

Front

What is a vertical line in a coordinate plane?

Back

A vertical line is a line that goes straight up and down and has an equation of the form x = a, where 'a' is a constant.

Front

What is a horizontal line in a coordinate plane?

Back

A horizontal line is a line that goes straight across and has an equation of the form y = b, where 'b' is a constant.

Front

How do you identify a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What type of line does the equation y = 0 represent?

Back

The equation y = 0 represents a horizontal line along the x-axis.

Front

What type of line does the equation x = 0 represent?

Back

The equation x = 0 represents a vertical line along the y-axis.

Front

How can you determine if a graph is linear?

Back

A graph is linear if it forms a straight line without any curves.
