How do you represent a translation of a point in a coordinate plane?

Back

A translation can be represented by the rule (x, y) → (x + a, y + b), where 'a' is the horizontal shift and 'b' is the vertical shift.

How do you determine the rate of change from a graph?

Back

The rate of change is determined by the slope of the line on the graph, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.

What does it mean for a graph to be linear?

Back

A linear graph represents a constant rate of change and can be expressed with a linear equation of the form y = mx + b.
