In a right triangle, this major result says that the side lengths satisfy a2 + b2 = c2.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

300

This form of a line is written y = mx + b

What is slope-intercept form?

300
This is an ordered triple (x,y,z) that when plugged in, makes all three equations true.

What is a solution to a system of linear equations (in three variables)?

400

This is a list of ordered pairs (x,y), where each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value

What is a function?

400

This form of a line is written y - y1 = m(x - x1)

What is point-slope form of a line?

400

This strategy is most useful for solving systems such as

3x + 4y = 7
y = x+1
