math tough assesment Flashcards
what does mx stand for in y=mx+b
the slope (gradient
what does b stand for in y=mx+b
the y-intercept
how do you find the gradient
x2-x1
what does the first number stand for in 4n+X
the first number is the change in the sequence (the number isnt always 4 just an example
what does the n stand for 4n+X
the number of the term so if its the 3rd term in a sequence n would be 3
what does x stand for in 4n+X
the first term in a sequence subtracted by the first number in the nth term
what does f stand for in f(x)=3x+2
the name of the function
what does x stand for in F(x)=3x+2
the input or the domain
what does the 2 numbers stand for in F(x)=3x+2
the function
how do you find exact center of a line
x1+x2. y1+y2

when are lines parellel
when they both have the same gradient
m1=m2
when are lines perpindicular(intersecting to make a right angle
m1 times m2 = -1
how do you find c
first find m then substitute one of the sets of coordinates and solve
how do you solve inequalities
treat them like equations
