What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change in a linear function is the slope, which indicates how much the output (y) changes for a unit change in the input (x).

Front

How do you determine the slope of a linear function from a graph?

Back

The slope can be determined by selecting two points on the line, calculating the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

Front

What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line and can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is a one-time fee in a membership context?

Back

A one-time fee is a single payment made to join a service or organization, after which no further payment is required for that initial service.

Front

What is a monthly membership fee?

Back

A monthly membership fee is a recurring charge that members pay each month to maintain access to a service or facility.

Front

What does it mean for a function to be linear?

Back

A function is linear if it can be represented by a straight line on a graph, indicating a constant rate of change.

Front

What is the significance of a graph in understanding distance over time?

Back

A graph showing distance over time helps visualize how an object's position changes, indicating speed and direction.

Front

What does a flat section on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A flat section indicates that the object is not moving; the distance remains constant over time.

Front

What does a steep section on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep section indicates that the object is moving quickly; the distance changes rapidly over time.
