Term
Definition
A line segment with endpoints on a circle.
Term
circle
Definition
A geometric figure consisting of all points P that are a fixed distance r from a point C, called the center of the circle.
Term
linear equation in standard form
Definition
The form ax + by = c of a linear equation. Each side of the equation is a linear expression.The equation
6x + 3y = 12 is in standard form.Although the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, is common and useful, it is not generally considered the “standard
form.”
Term
linear inequality
Definition
A mathematical sentence, such as
ax + by + c , dx + ey + f, which expresses a relationship of inequality between two quantities, each of which is a linear expression. For example,
y > -2x + 4, and 6x + 3y < 12 are linear
inequalities, as are x < 3 and 2x + 3 > 7x
Term
midpoint
Definition
A point on a line segment that is
equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
Term
system of linear equations
Definition
Two or more linear equations that represent constraints on the variables
used. A solution of a system of equations is a pair of values that satisfies all the equations in the system. For example, the ordered pair (1, 2) is the solution of the system because it satisfies both equations
