How do you convert a table of values into a linear equation?

Back

To convert a table of values into a linear equation, identify the slope using two points from the table and then use one of the points to find the y-intercept.

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. They will never intersect.

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. This means one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.

How can you represent a linear function graphically?

Back

A linear function can be represented graphically by plotting points from the function and connecting them to form a straight line.
