Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It is calculated as the rise over run.

Front

What is the rate of change in a linear relationship?

Back

The rate of change in a linear relationship is the slope of the line, which indicates how much the dependent variable changes for a unit change in the independent variable.

Front

What does it mean for a system of equations to have no solution?

Back

A system of equations has no solution when the graphs of the equations are parallel lines, meaning they never intersect.

Front

How can you determine if a function is increasing or decreasing?

Back

A function is increasing if its slope is positive (rising from left to right) and decreasing if its slope is negative (falling from left to right).

Front

What is a system of equations?

Back

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables. Solutions to the system are the values that satisfy all equations simultaneously.
