Term
the constant (k) in direct and inverse variation equations
Definition
constant of variation
Term
linear relationship between two variables, x and y, that canbe writen in the form y=kx, where (k) is a nonzero constant
Definition
direct variation
Term
an equation that can be written in the form ax=b where a and be are constants and a (equals with a line through it) 0
Definition
linear equation
Term
function tha canbe written in the form y=mx+b, where x is the independent variable and m and be are real numbers... Its graph is a line.
Definition
linear function
Term
ratio that compares the amount of change in dependent variable to the amount of change in a dependent variable to the amount of change in an independent variable
Definition
rate of change
Term
the difference in the y-values of two points on a line
Definition
rise
Term
the difference in the x-values of two points on a line
Definition
run
Term

m=y2-y1
x2-x1
Definition

Definition
x-intercept
Term
the y coordinates of the point where a graph intersects the y-axis
Definition
y-intercepts
