What is a nonlinear function?
Back
A nonlinear function is a function that does not create a straight line when graphed. It can have a variable rate of change and may include curves, bends, or other shapes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does it mean for a function to have a constant rate of change?
Back
A constant rate of change means that for every unit increase in x, the value of y increases by a fixed amount. This is characteristic of linear functions.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope of a linear function?
Back
The slope of a linear function is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the y-intercept of a linear function?
Back
The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the function crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.
