What is the point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

How do you convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

What is the absolute value function?

Front

What is a piecewise function?

Back

A piecewise function is a function defined by multiple sub-functions, each applying to a specific interval of the domain.

Front

How do you determine the domain of a piecewise function?

Back

The domain of a piecewise function is determined by the intervals specified for each piece of the function.

Front

What is the significance of the vertex in an absolute value function?

Back

Front

How do you graph a piecewise function?

Back

To graph a piecewise function, plot each piece according to its defined interval and connect them appropriately.

Front

What is the difference between open and closed intervals?

Back

An open interval (a, b) does not include the endpoints a and b, while a closed interval [a, b] includes both endpoints.
