What does the rate of change represent in a linear relationship?

Back

The rate of change indicates how much one quantity changes in relation to another, often expressed as a slope in a graph.

Front

How do you determine the rate of change from a linear equation?

Back

To find the rate of change, rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and identify the slope 'm'.

Front

What does it mean for two graphs to be parallel?

Back

Two graphs are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts, meaning they never intersect.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, representing the value of y when x = 0.

Front

What is the difference between linear and exponential growth?

Back

Linear growth increases by a constant amount, while exponential growth increases by a constant percentage over time.

How can you identify an exponential function from a table of values?

Back

An exponential function will show a constant ratio between consecutive values, indicating multiplicative growth.
