What does the graph of a function look like?

Back

The graph of a function passes the vertical line test; no vertical line intersects the graph more than once.

Front

What is the vertical line test?

Back

The vertical line test is a method to determine if a graph represents a function by checking if a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).
