Partial Variation: has an equation of the form y=mx+b and does not cross the y-axis at
0.
Exponential Relationship: ∆2.
Quadratic Relationship: ∆3.
Parabola: formed when ∆3 occurs.
Variable: an expression that can change a relation.
Independent Variable: The variable that does not depend on the other (x)
Dependent Variable: The variable that depends on the other variable (y).
Rate Triangle: can be drawn between any two points. It determines how steep a line is.
Definitions of slope:
•
Role of slope: The slop determines certain points on a line. The y-intercept also helps.
Steeper line: slope is a higher number, meaning line is closer to y-axis.
Vertical Lines: have an undefined slop because they have no y-intercept (b,0), and the
equation of the line is x=b.
Horizontal lines: have no x-intercept, and are parallel to the x-axis. Slope of 0 (0,a) and
the equation of the line is y=a.
Parallel lines: have same slope but different y-intercepts.
Perpendicular lines: have slopes that are negative reciprocals and different y-intercepts.
Non-linear relationship: if a single smooth curve can be drawn through every point.
Weak Relationship: if the data has no obvious pattern either in the table of values, or on
the plot of the data points.
Correlation coefficient (r): when graphing technology is used, correlation coefficient for
a line is given. This measures goodness of fit of the line to the data. If the regression line
fits the data exactly, and has a positive slop, then r=1. If the line fit the data exactly and
has a negative slope r=-1.
Point of Intersection: when two lines are graphed on the same set of axes, they may
cross each other. This point identifies where the variables are equal in two different
relationships.
Linear Regression Equation (how to calculate the equation of a line of best fit):
Displacement: in a problem involving movement, the graph shows this (distance, height.
Or depth) versus time. Distance, height or depth is the dependent variable and time is the
independent variable.
Velocity: is the rate of change in this relationship. V= ∆d = the change in displacement
∆t the change in time
- In a linear relationship, the velocity is constant.
- In a nonlinear relationship, the velocity changes with time. This means there is
non-zero acceleration or deceleration.
Sets of numbers and how to operate in I and Q: see other study page.

Alternate Interior Angles: congruent angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal;
located on opposite sides of the transversal between the parallel lines
Alternate Exterior: When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the two pairs of angles on
opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines
Supplementary Angles: Two angles for which the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
Vertex: A point where lines, rays, sides of a polygon or edges of a polyhedron meet (corner).
Corresponding: Two angles that lie on the same side of the transversal, in corresponding
positions with respect to the two lines that the transversal intersects.

Degree of a Polynomial: The highest exponent when there is a situation of addition or
subtraction. In the case of multiplication, we add the exponents.
