Function Tables

What is a function table?

Back

A function table is a chart that shows how each input (x-value) is related to an output (y-value) through a specific rule or equation.

What does it mean to evaluate a function?

Back

To evaluate a function means to find the output value (y) for a given input value (x) using the function's rule.

Front

What is the rule in a function table?

Back

The rule in a function table is the mathematical operation or equation that describes how to get the output from the input.

Front

How do you find the output in a function table?

Back

To find the output, apply the function's rule to the input value.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers (x, y) that represents a point on a coordinate plane, where x is the input and y is the output.

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the input (x) that you control, while the dependent variable is the output (y) that depends on the input.

Front

What does it mean for an ordered pair to be a solution of an equation?

Back

An ordered pair is a solution of an equation if substituting the x and y values into the equation makes it true.

What is a linear function?

Back

Front

What is slope in a function?

Back

Slope is a measure of how steep a line is, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of a function crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.
