Math Flashcards
Scatter plot
A graph with points plotted to show a possible relationship between two sets of data
Both sets of data values increase
Positive correlation
One set of data values increases as the other set decreases
Negative correlation
There is no relationship between the data sets
No correlation
Trend line
Helps show the correlation between data sets more clearly and can be helpful when making predictions based on the data
Linear function
A function whose graph forms a straight line
Standard form
Ax^2+By=C
It is a linear equation when……
X and Y both have exponents of 1
X and y are not multiplied together
X and y do not appear in denominators, exponents, or radical signs
Rate of change
Ratio that compares the amount if change in a dependent variable to the amount of change in an independent variable
Change in dependent variable/change in independent variable
Rise
Y
Run
X
Slope formula
Y2-y1/x2-x1
Inconsistent system
A system that has no solution
Consistent system
A system with at least one solution
Independent system
Has exactly one solution. The graph of an
