Term
[image]
Does this line have a positive or negative slope?
Definition
positive slope. The line rises from left to right.
Term
Form of linear equation
Definition
y=mx+b
Term
m
Definition
Slope. Constant rate of change.
Term
b
Definition
y intercept. Start value. The y value for the (x,y) point of the line that intersects the y axis.
Term
What does y = -2 look like when graphed?
Definition
A horizontal line.[image]
Term
What is the slope of the line y = -2?
Definition
0 because it is a horizontal line.
Term
What does x = 3 look like when graphed?
Definition
[image]
A vertical line.
Term
What is the slope of a vertical line?
Definition
[image]
No slope or undefined.
Term
[image]
Does this line have a positive or negative slope?
Definition
Negative. The line falls from left to right.
Term
How do you find slope of a line on a graph?
Definition
[image]
Term
How do you find slope when you are given 2 coordinate points or a table?
Definition
[image]
Term
How can you graph a linear equation?
Definition
You can graph a linear equation by making a table, picking numbers for x then solve for y. OR you can graph using the b, y intercept and m slope.
Term
What do you know about the slope of parallel lines?
Definition
[image]
Term
What do you know about the slope of perpendicular lines?
Definition
[image]
The slopes will be OPPOSITE RECIPROCALS.
Term
Two lines are parallel. If the slope of the first line is 3, what is the slope of the second line?
Definition
3 because parallel lines have the same slope.
Term
Two lines are perpendicular. If the slope of the first line is -5/4, what is the slope of the second line.
Definition
4/5. Opposite reciprocals.
Term
How do you know that two intersecting lines are perpendicular?
Definition
They form 90° angles.
[image]
Term
What does opposite reciprocal mean?
Definition
to flip a fraction and change the sign. Example 2/3 becomes -3/2.
Term
How can you determine that a relationship on a graph is direct variation proportional?
Definition
The line will go through the point (0,0) and the line will be straight due to the constant rate of change.
Term
How can you determine if an equation direct variation proportional?
Definition
The equation will be in the from y = mx. Example y = 2x.
Term
How can you determine if a table has a direct variation proportional relationship?
Definition
[image]
The table will be linear meaning that is has a constant rate of change and one of the points will be (0,0) Careful! You may need to work backwards using the pattern to see the point (0,0)
