What is a Linear Graph?

Back

A linear graph is a graph that represents a linear relationship between two variables, typically in the form of a straight line.

Front

What is a Non-Linear Graph?

Back

A non-linear graph is a graph that represents a relationship between two variables that does not form a straight line, indicating a more complex relationship.

Front

How can you identify a Linear Graph?

Back

A linear graph can be identified by its straight line, constant slope, and the equation of the form y = mx + b.

Front

How can you identify a Non-Linear Graph?

Back

A non-linear graph can be identified by its curved line, varying slope, and equations that are not in the form of y = mx + b.

Front

What does the slope of a linear graph represent?

Back

The slope of a linear graph represents the rate of change between the two variables.

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is a quadratic graph?

Back

A quadratic graph is a type of non-linear graph that represents a quadratic function, typically forming a parabola.
