Module 4 $ 3 Flashcards
The first number in an ordered pair; it tells the distance to move right or left from the origin (0,0)
X-coordinate
The second number in an ordered pair; it tells the the distance to move up or down from the origin (0,0)
Y-coordinate
An equation whose solutions form a straight line on a coordinate plane
Linear equation
A linear equation written in the form y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept
Slope-intercept form of an equation
The y-coordinate of the point where the graph of a line crosses the y-axis
Y-intercept
A set of values that make all equations in a system true.
Solution of a system of equations
A set of two or more equations that contain 2 or more variables
System of equations
A measure of the steepness of a line on a graph; the rise divided by the run
Slope
A ratio that compares the amount of change in a dependent variable to the amount of change in an independent variable
Rate of change
A relationship between two quantities in which the ratio of one quantity to the other quantity is constant
Proportional relationship
A pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinated plane.
Ordered pair
A comparison of two quantities by division
Ratio
Ratios that name the same comparison
Equivalent Ratios
A value that does not change
Constant
An equation that states that two ratios are equivalent
Proportion
