Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a linear function?

Front

What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change is the same as the slope of the line, indicating how much the dependent variable changes for a unit change in the independent variable.

How can you determine the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Front

How do you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, find the x-intercept and y-intercept, plot these points on the graph, and draw a straight line through them.

Front

What is the significance of parallel lines in linear functions?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, meaning they never intersect.

Front

What is the significance of perpendicular lines in linear functions?

Front

How do you solve a system of linear equations graphically?

Back

To solve a system graphically, graph both equations on the same set of axes and identify the point(s) where they intersect, which represents the solution.
