Descriptive Statistics

A numerical summary of the main features of a dataset. It helps to understand the distribution, central tendency, and variability of data.

Slope-Intercept Form

y = mx + b, where 'm' represents the slope and 'b' represents the y-intercept.

Midpoint Formula

A formula that calculates the middle point of a line segment. It's the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

Limit of a Function

The behavior of a function as its input approaches a specific value. It tells us if the function is continuous or has a jump, hole, or infinity at that point.
