What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

What is the slope of a line?

Back

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

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by 'b' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b).

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you find the equation of a line given a point and a slope?

Back

Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.

What does it mean for a function to be linear?

Back

A linear function is a function that graphs to a straight line, characterized by a constant rate of change (slope).

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the input of a function (often x), while the dependent variable is the output (often y) that depends on the input.

How do you interpret the slope in a real-world context?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change; for example, in a cost function, it indicates how much the cost increases per unit.

What is a table of values in relation to functions?

Back

A table of values lists pairs of input (x) and output (y) values that satisfy a function.

What is the significance of the x-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, indicating the value of x when y = 0.
