chapter 3 Flashcards
The set of inputs; x values
Domain
The set of outputs; y values
Range
f(x)
Function
a graph used to determine if a relationship exist between two sets of data
scatter plot
as the x values increase, the y value increases
positive correlation
as the x value increase, the y value decreases
negative correlation
a function whose graph is a line
linear function
a set of ordered pairs
relation
the trend line that most closely matches the data in a scatter plot
line of best fit
a transformation that shifts each point on a graph of a function the same distance horizontally or vertically
translation
making a prediction within the range of known values
extrapolation
when there is no general relationship between x values and y values
no association
Models the data in a scatter plot by showing the general direction of the data
trend line
a method used to calculate the line of best fit
linear regression
represented by r, its a number between -1 and 1 that indicates the direction and strength of a linear relationship
correlation coefficient
