2.2 Linear Equations Flashcards
A function whose graph is a line
Linear Function
Represents linear function, y = 3x + 2
Linear Equation
The value of y depends on the value of x, y is called this
Dependent Variable
X is called this
Independent Variable
The point where the line crosses at the y- axis
Y-Intercept
The point where the line crosses at the x- axis
X-Intercept
Ax + By= C, where A,B and C are real numbers, and A and B are not zero.
Standard Form Of A Linear Equation
Nonvertical line is the ratio of the vertical change to a corresponding horizontal change
Slope
When you know the slope and a point on a line you can this to write the equation of the line
Point-Slope Form
Another form of the equation of a line is this, which you can use to find slope by examining the equation.
Slope-Intercept Form
