Questions and Answers

What type of data involves a count of items?

  • Linear function
  • Continuous data
  • Discrete data (correct)
  • Function

What is continuous data?

Continuous data are data where numbers between any two data values have meaning.

Define a function.

A function is a rule that assigns to each input value exactly one output value.

Study Notes

Data Types

  • Continuous data: Values between any two data points are meaningful; represented by a solid line.
  • Discrete data: Involves counting items (e.g., people, cars); depicted with plotted points connected by a dashed line.

Functions

  • Function: A rule mapping each input to exactly one output.
  • Function rule: An equation that represents a specific function.

Linear Equations and Functions

  • Linear equation: Creates a straight line when graphed.
  • Linear function: Points on the graph of a linear function lie in a straight line.

Nonlinear Relationships

  • Nonlinear: Data that does not form a straight line when graphed indicates a nonlinear relationship.

Relationships and Ratios

  • Proportional relationship: Maintains a constant ratio between inputs and outputs.

Slope

  • Slope: A measure of steepness calculated as the vertical change divided by the horizontal change (rise/run).
  • Slope of a line: Formula involves change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates, simplified to rise/run.

Slope-Intercept Form

  • Slope-intercept form: An equation of the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept; results in a linear graph.
  • Y-intercept: The point at which a graph intersects the y-axis.
