What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line. It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

How do you write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

The slope-intercept form of a line is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What is a function?

Back

A function is a relation where each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

What does it mean for a graph to be continuous?

Back

A continuous graph is one that can be drawn without lifting the pencil from the paper, meaning there are no breaks or gaps.

What does it mean for a graph to be discrete?

Back

A discrete graph consists of distinct, separate points, indicating that the values are not connected.

What is an irrational number?

Front

What happens when you multiply two irrational numbers?

Back

The product of two irrational numbers is sometimes rational, meaning it can be a whole number or a fraction.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

How do you determine if a graph represents a function?

Back

You can use the vertical line test: if a vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, it is not a function.

Front

What is the difference between a linear and a non-linear function?

Back

A linear function has a constant rate of change and graphs as a straight line, while a non-linear function does not have a constant rate of change and can curve.
