2-1 through 2-4 Flashcards
a set of pairs of input and output values.
relation
set of all inputs
domain
set of all outputs
range
links elements of the domain in one region and the element of the range in another.
mapping diagram
a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element in the range.
function
used to tell whether the relation is a function
vertical-line test
f(x)
function notation
a function whose graph is a line
linear function
represents a linear function
linear equation
what y is called
dependent variable
x is called this
independent variable
the point at which the line crosses the y-axis
y-intercept
the point at which the line crosses the x axis
x-intercept
Ax+By=C
standard form
the ratio of the vertical change to a corresponding horizontal change
slope
when you know the slope of a line, you can represent it as this
point-slope form
Used to find slope by examining the equation
slope-intercept form
a graph that relates two different sets of data by plotting the data as ordered pairs.
scatter plot
A line that approximates the relationship between the data sets of a scatter plot
trend line
