Relations
A list of ordered pairs
set
Which values are the "inputs"
x-values
What shape is a linear function
straight line
This is the graph type given an absolute value
V-Shaped
The solutions to a function can be found on this axis
x-axis (called the ZEROS!)
an organized method to show inputs and outputs via "table"
xy-chart or table
Which values are the "outputs"?
y-values
What is the m in y=mx+b
slope
The result of a squared variable
Parabola (U-shaped)
The "high point" of a function
maximum
The visual way to represent ALL inputs/outputs of a function
Graph
What's the fancy way to represent y= in function notation
f(x)
What is the b in y=mx+b
y-intercept
If a function has restrictions in regards to the input and outputs, resulting in gaps in the graph
Piece-Wise
The low point of a function
minimum
Something "new"... these are all possible inputs
Domain
What test is used to see if the graph represents a function
Vertical Line Test
Proportional relationships start at?
the origin!
A section of the coordinate plane that certain fucntions will approach, but will never cross. Seen as a limit
asymptote
A function is considered this is it is "going down"
decreasing
Something "new"... these are all possible outputs
Range
What is Ax+By=C known as?
Standard Form
How else do we refer to slope? Give me one
Constant of Proportionality
Rate of Change
Change in y over change in x
What kind of graph is present given a radical
sideways, half U
A function that is "going up" is considered to be
Increasing
