Mathematical Concepts: Target D

Front

Function

Back

A relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs, typically represented by a graph, equation, or table.

Front

Relation

Back

A set of ordered pairs, often representing a relationship between two variables.

Front

Linear

Back

A type of relation or function that creates a straight line when graphed, characterized by a constant rate of change.

Front

Nonlinear

Back

A type of relation or function that does not create a straight line when graphed, indicating a variable rate of change.

Front

Ordered Pairs

Back

A pair of elements (x, y) used to represent a point on a coordinate grid.

Front

Coordinate Grid

Back

A two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a vertical y-axis and a horizontal x-axis.

Front

Rate of Change

Back

The ratio that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another, often represented as the slope in linear functions.

Front

Y-intercept

Back

The point where a graph intersects the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x is zero.

Front

X-intercept

Back

The point where a graph intersects the x-axis, indicating the value of x when y is zero.

Front

Slope

Back

A measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.
