Function
a relation between a set of inputs having one output each.
Y Intercept
where the line of a graph crosses the y-axis, or what y is equal to when x is equal to 0.
Formula of gradient
y2-y1/x2-x1
Equation of straight line
y=mx+c
m=
gradient
Relation
any set of ordered pairs
Domain
input (These are the values that you can put into a relation or function.) X
Range
output (These are the values that come out as a result of the relation or function.) Y
Vertical line test
a way to check if the relation is a function. if it intersects the graph at more than one point, its not a function.
System of equations
a set of equations with the same variables
Independant
exactly one solution
Dependent
many solutions
Inconsistent
no solutions
Simultaneous equations
a set of equations that are solved together because they share common variables.
a<0
