What is a non-proportional relationship?

Back

A non-proportional relationship is a relationship between two quantities where the ratio is not constant, meaning they do not increase or decrease at the same rate.

What does it mean for a graph to pass through the origin?

Back

A graph passes through the origin if the point (0,0) is on the graph, indicating that when one variable is zero, the other variable is also zero.

What is the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value.

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the y-axis, representing the value of y when x is zero.

Front

What is the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where a graph intersects the x-axis, representing the value of x when y is zero.
