What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the y-value with respect to the x-value. It indicates how steep the line is.

What is the transformation of a function?

Back

A transformation of a function involves changing its position, shape, or size on the graph. Common transformations include translations, reflections, stretches, and compressions.

What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?

Back

A line with a negative slope decreases as it moves from left to right. This indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases.
