Front

How can you identify a linear function from a set of points?

Back

A linear function will have constant first differences between the y-values for equal increments in x-values.

Front

What are constant first differences?

Back

Constant first differences occur when the difference between consecutive y-values is the same for equal increments in x-values, indicating a linear relationship.

Front

What are constant second differences?

Back

Constant second differences occur when the differences of the first differences are constant, indicating a quadratic relationship.

Front

What is the graph of a linear function?

Back

The graph of a linear function is a straight line that can slope upwards, downwards, or be horizontal.

Front

What is the graph of an exponential function?

Back

The graph of an exponential function shows rapid growth or decay, characterized by a curve that increases or decreases sharply.

Front

What is the slope in a linear function?

Back

The slope (m) in a linear function represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.
