FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a linear function?
Back
A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented as a straight line. It has a constant rate of change and can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a nonlinear function?
Back
A nonlinear function is a function that does not create a straight line when graphed. The rate of change is not constant, and it can be represented by equations that include exponents, roots, or other non-linear terms.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you identify a linear function from a table of values?
Back
A linear function will have a constant difference in the y-values for equal differences in the x-values. This means the ratio of the change in y to the change in x is constant.

Front
How can you identify a nonlinear function from a table of values?
Back
A nonlinear function will show varying differences in the y-values for equal differences in the x-values, meaning the ratio of the change in y to the change in x is not constant.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the slope of a linear function represent?
Back
The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the y-intercept in a linear function?
Back
The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis. It is the value of y when x is 0.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an example of a linear function?
Back
An example of a linear function is y = 2x + 3. This function has a constant slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3.
