Front

What is exponential growth?

Back

A process where a quantity increases at a rate proportional to its current value.

Front

Back

A process where a quantity decreases at a rate proportional to its current value.

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The value of y when x=0.

Front

What does the term 'linear' refer to in mathematics?

Back

A relationship that can be graphically represented as a straight line.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the difference between exponential growth and linear growth?

Back

Exponential growth increases faster than linear growth as the value of x increases.

Front

What is a function in mathematics?

Back

A relation where each input has exactly one output.
