Additive vs. Multiplicative

Front

What is an additive relationship?

Back

An additive relationship is when a constant value is added to a variable, resulting in a straight line graph that does not cross through the origin.

Front

What is a multiplicative relationship?

Back

A multiplicative relationship is when a variable is multiplied by a constant, resulting in a graph that typically crosses through the origin.

Front

What does it mean if a graph crosses through the origin?

Back

If a graph crosses through the origin, it indicates a multiplicative relationship.

Front

What does it mean if a graph does not cross through the origin?

Back

If a graph does not cross through the origin, it indicates an additive relationship.

Front

In the equation x + 3 = y, what type of relationship is represented?

Back

This equation represents an additive relationship.

Front

In the equation y = 2x, what type of relationship is represented?

Back

This equation represents a multiplicative relationship.

Front

What are dependent values in a graph?

Back

Dependent values are the output values that depend on the input values, typically represented on the y-axis.

Front

What are independent values in a graph?

Back

Independent values are the input values that determine the output values, typically represented on the x-axis.

Front

Give an example of an additive equation.

Back

An example of an additive equation is y = x + 5.

Front

Give an example of a multiplicative equation.

Back

An example of a multiplicative equation is y = 3x.
