Study Notes
Linear Relationships
- Represented graphically by a straight line indicating a constant relationship between two quantities.
Constant Rate of Change
- The change between any two points in a linear relationship remains the same across the graph.
Unit Rate
- A specific type of rate or ratio where the denominator equals one, simplifying comparisons.
Slope
- Measures the steepness of a line, defined as the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run).
Rise
- The vertical distance between any two points on the line, indicating how much the y-value changes.
Run
- The horizontal distance between two points on the line, indicating how much the x-value changes.
Direct Variation
- Describes a relationship where two variable quantities maintain a consistent ratio.
Constant of Variation
- The constant ratio found within a direct variation, signifying the relationship strength.
Constant of Proportionality
- The constant ratio in proportional linear relationships, symbolizing direct proportionality between variables.
Point-Slope Form
- Form of linear equation expressed as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m indicates slope and (x1, y1) is a specific point on the line.
Slope-Intercept Form
- Linear equation format written as y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y-coordinate where the line intersects the y-axis.
Standard Form
- Linear equations structured as Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.
x-intercept
- The specific x-coordinate at which the line intersects the x-axis, determined by setting y to zero in the equation.
y-intercept
- The specific y-coordinate at which the line intersects the y-axis, determined by setting x to zero in the equation.
