Algebra 1 Syllabus 25-26

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

An equation that makes a straight line when graphed. It can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is a quadratic equation?

Back

An equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0.

Front

What is data analysis?

Back

The process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data to discover useful information, inform conclusions, and support decision-making.

Front

What is a linear inequality?

Back

An inequality that involves a linear expression. It can be written in forms like ax + b < c or ax + b ≥ c.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How do you solve a linear equation?

Back

Isolate the variable on one side of the equation using inverse operations.

Front

What is the difference between an equation and an inequality?

Back

An equation states that two expressions are equal, while an inequality shows that one expression is greater than or less than another.

Front

What is the purpose of graphing linear equations?

Back

To visually represent the relationship between variables and to find solutions to the equations.

Front

What is a function?

Back

A relation where each input has exactly one output. It can be represented as a set of ordered pairs, a graph, or an equation.
