What is a linear function?

Back

A linear function is a function that can be graphically represented as a straight line. It has the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. It is the value of y when x is 0.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation that assigns exactly one output (y) for each input (x).

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment, while the dependent variable is the variable that is measured or affected.

Front

What is a prediction in the context of data analysis?

Back

A prediction is an estimate of a future value based on current or past data.

Front

How can you use a table to make predictions?

Back

You can analyze the trends in the data presented in the table to extrapolate or interpolate values for unmeasured points.

Front

What is interpolation?

Back

Interpolation is the process of estimating unknown values that fall within the range of known data points.

Front

What is extrapolation?

Back

Extrapolation is the process of estimating unknown values that fall outside the range of known data points.
