Study Notes
Slope Intercept Form
- The formula for slope-intercept form is ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) represents the slope and ( b ) the y-intercept.
Slope Calculation
- Slope is calculated as rise over run, represented by ( \frac{y}{x} ).
Y Value Terminology
- Other terms for the y value include range, rise, and output.
Definition of Relation
- A relation is defined as a set of ordered pairs, indicating the association between two sets of values.
Domain Value
- The domain value refers specifically to the x value in a relation.
Representing Functions
- Functions can be represented in three ways: as graphs, tables, or ordered pairs.
Grouping Symbols in Algebra
- Four types of grouping symbols in algebraic expressions include brackets, braces, fraction bars, and parentheses.
Solution of an Equation
- A solution is the value of a variable that satisfies an equation, making it true.
Constant Values
- A number that stands alone without a variable is referred to as a constant.
Definition of Function
- A function is characterized by having unique x values, meaning no x value can appear more than once.
Vertical Line Test for Functions
- All functions pass the vertical line test, which confirms that each input has exactly one output.
Undefined Slope
- A slope becomes undefined when the x value is 0, indicating a vertical line.
Slope Synonyms
- Slope can be called the rate of change, constant proportionality, unit rate, or simply slope.
Formula for Slope
- The formula to calculate the slope from a pair of points is ( \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2} ).
Criteria for Proportions
- A proportion must fulfill two criteria: it must run through the origin and have a standard rate of change.
Characteristics of Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines in a set of equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
Characteristics of Intersecting Lines
- Intersecting lines feature different slopes and different y-intercepts in their equations.
Example of Identical Lines
- The equations ( 5y = 10x + 5 ) and ( y = 5x + 1 ) represent the same line, despite their different forms.
