Study Notes

Algebra Vocabulary Study Notes

  • Domain: Refers to all possible input values for a function.

  • Decreasing: A line is characterized as decreasing when the slope is negative.

  • Axis: The Cartesian plane consists of an x-axis and a y-axis.

  • Slope: Defined as the change in the y-coordinate divided by the change in the x-coordinate.

  • Model: A linear model is used to represent real-world situations through mathematical equations.

  • Run: In relation to slope, it is often described as "rise over run," representing the horizontal change.

  • Zero: A horizontal line has a slope of zero, indicating no change in y-values.

  • Undefined: A vertical line has an undefined slope due to the lack of horizontal change.

  • Rise: The steepness of a line is determined by the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

  • Independent Variable: Typically represents the x variable in a mathematical function.

  • Constant: In the equation Ax + By = C, C is considered a constant.

  • Term: In the equation format Ax + By = C, both Ax and By qualify as terms.

  • Standard Form: The equation Ax + By = C illustrates the standard form of a linear equation.

  • Dependent Variable: Commonly describes the y variable in a relationship where its value depends on the independent variable.

  • Linear Equation: Recognized for having a constant rate of change.

  • Change: Slope is synonymous with the rate of change in a linear relationship.

  • Coefficient: In Ax + By = C, A and B are examples of coefficients.

  • Graph: The graphical representation of a linear equation is a straight line.

  • Horizontal Line: Exhibits a slope of zero, indicating no vertical change.

  • Ordered Pair: An ordered pair represents a set of coordinates, typically written as (x, y).

  • Quadrant: There are four sections in a coordinate plane, categorized as quadrants.

  • Table: Represents a systematic display of input (x values) and output (y values) in rows and columns.

  • Vertical Line: Characterized by an undefined slope, indicating no horizontal change.

  • Range: Encompasses all possible output values from a given function.

  • Origin: The point (0,0) on the Cartesian plane serves as the reference point from which all coordinates are measured.

  • Line: Defined mathematically by two distinct points.

  • Increasing: A line is considered increasing if it has a positive slope.

  • Negative Slope: A line is termed decreasing, indicating it has a negative slope.

  • Coordinate Plane: Also referred to as a Cartesian plane, which is a two-dimensional surface for graphing functions.

  • Rate of Change: This term is synonymous with slope, indicating how much y changes with respect to x.

  • Positive Slope: An increasing line is associated with a positive slope, reflecting upward movement.
