Front

What is the formula for finding the slope of a line?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to reduce it to its simplest form by combining like terms and performing operations.

Front

What is the commutative property of addition?

Back

The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum (e.g., a + b = b + a).

Front

What is the associative property of addition?

Back

The associative property of addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum (e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)).

Front

What is the difference between an expression and an equation?

Back

An expression is a combination of numbers and variables without an equality sign, while an equation states that two expressions are equal.

Front

How do you evaluate an expression?

Back

To evaluate an expression, substitute the values of the variables into the expression and perform the operations.

Front

What is the distributive property?

Back

The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a number across a sum.
