What is the y-intercept of a linear graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis, representing the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How do you combine like terms in an expression?

Back

Combine like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients of terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.

Front

What does the function notation f(x) represent?

Back

f(x) represents a function named 'f' evaluated at the input 'x', producing an output.

Front

How do you evaluate a function at a specific value?

Back

To evaluate a function at a specific value, substitute the value into the function's equation and simplify.

Front

What is the process for simplifying an algebraic expression?

Back

The process involves combining like terms, applying the distributive property, and reducing fractions if necessary.

Front

What is the distributive property in algebra?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, allowing you to multiply a term by a sum.

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to reduce it to its simplest form, making it easier to understand or solve.

Front

What is a linear relationship in mathematics?

Back

A linear relationship is a relationship between two variables that can be represented by a straight line on a graph.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

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