What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the y-value with respect to the x-value. It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward slant of the line.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward slant of the line.

How can you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, you can find the y-intercept, plot it on the graph, use the slope to find another point, and draw a straight line through the points.

What is the difference between a function and a relation?

Back

A function is a special type of relation where each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).
