Front

Define a non-proportional linear relationship.

Back

A non-proportional linear relationship is a relationship between two variables that can be represented by a linear equation but does not pass through the origin.

Front

What is the slope of a line in a linear equation?

Back

The slope is the ratio of the rise (change in y) to the run (change in x) between two points on the line.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What does the term 'constant rate of change' mean?

Back

It refers to the consistent amount by which the dependent variable changes for each unit change in the independent variable.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
