Linear Function |
A function whose graph is a straight line and has a constant slope. |
|
|
Slope |
The "steepness" of a line; a ratio of the change in y- coordinates (rise) of a graph to the change in corresponding x- coordinates (run). The symbol for slope is m. |
|
|
Y- intercept |
The y- coordinates of the point at which a line crosses the y- axis. |
|
|
Rate of Change |
The ratio in y- values to the corresponding change in x- values. |
|
|
Initial Value |
An interpretation of the y- intercept of the graph of an equation in a real world situation. |
|
|
Slope-intercept Form |
The equation of a straight line in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is its y- intercept. |
