Front

What is the definition of x-intercept?

Back

Where the graph crosses the x-axis

Front

What is the definition of y-intercept?

Back

Where the graph crosses the y-axis

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the term 'slope' represent in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What is the difference between exponential growth and exponential decay?

Back

Exponential growth increases rapidly, while exponential decay decreases rapidly.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
