Graphs, Tables, and Equations

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data that shows the relationship between two or more variables, typically using a coordinate system.

Front

What is a table in mathematics?

Back

A table is a systematic arrangement of data in rows and columns, used to organize and present information clearly.

Front

What does the equation y = mx + b represent?

Back

This is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

Front

What is a dependent variable?

Back

A dependent variable is the outcome or effect that is measured in an experiment, which changes in response to the independent variable.

Front

What is an independent variable?

Back

An independent variable is the factor that is manipulated or changed in an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (x, y), where 'x' is the value on the x-axis and 'y' is the value on the y-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of a function table?

Back

A function table is used to organize input-output pairs for a function, showing how each input relates to its corresponding output.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of 'y' when 'x' is zero.

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that forms a straight line when graphed, typically in the form y = mx + b.
