Term
What is all of the solution of the following equation:
y = 3x + 6 |
|
Definition
| a line of slope 3 and y-intercept 6 |

|
|
Term
| How do you find the x-intercept? |
|
Definition
| Make y = 0, and find solve for x. |
|
|
Term
| How do you find the y-intercept? |
|
Definition
1. put equation in y= form and b is y-intercept
2. make x = 0 and solve for y |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The number of units a nonvertical line rises or falls for each unit of horizontal change from left to right. |
|
|
Term
| Why is slope often defined as rise/run? |
|
Definition
| Because to find the slope you find the change in the vertical value (rise) divided by the change in the horizontal value (run) |
