What does a zero slope indicate in a graph?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the value of the dependent variable as the independent variable changes.

Front

What is a linear graph?

Back

A linear graph is a graph that represents a constant rate of change, resulting in a straight line.

Front

What is a nonlinear graph?

Back

A nonlinear graph is a graph that does not have a constant rate of change, resulting in a curve or a line that is not straight.

Front

How can you identify an increasing interval on a graph?

Back

An increasing interval is identified when the graph rises as you move from left to right.

Front

How can you identify a decreasing interval on a graph?

Back

A decreasing interval is identified when the graph falls as you move from left to right.

Front

What does it mean if a section of a graph is flat?

Back

A flat section of a graph indicates that the value of the dependent variable is constant over that interval.
