Study Notes

Linear Functions

A linear function can be represented as a straight line.

Quadratic Equations

The end behavior of a graph of a quadratic equation with a positive leading coefficient is that the graph opens upward.
A quadratic equation can be represented by a graph that forms a U-shaped curve.

Slope

The slope of a line parallel to the line with equation $3x - 4y = 8$ is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Systems of Equations

If there are no solutions in a system of equations, it means that the lines are parallel and do not intersect.
In a system of 3 equations and 3 unknowns, there are three possible solutions: one unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.

Graph Characteristics

A graph that does not have any breaks or holes represents a continuous function.

Y-Intercept

The y-intercept of the line with equation $2x - 3y = 6$ is 2.
