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 indicates how steep the line is.

How do you find the total cost from a linear equation?

Front

What is the difference between dependent and independent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled in an experiment (usually x), while the dependent variable is the variable that is measured or affected (usually y).

Front

How can you represent a situation with a table?

Back

A situation can be represented with a table by listing values of the independent variable (x) and their corresponding dependent variable values (y) based on the relationship defined by the equation.

Front

What does it mean to graph a linear equation?

Back

Graphing a linear equation means plotting points on a coordinate plane that satisfy the equation, and connecting these points to form a straight line.

Front

What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation between a set of inputs (independent variable) and a set of possible outputs (dependent variable) where each input is related to exactly one output.

Front

How do you identify a linear function from a table?

Back

A linear function can be identified from a table if the differences between consecutive y-values are constant as the x-values increase.
