100
for each input there is exactly one output
Function
100
the rate of change/the ratio of the rise to the run/ designated by the letter "m"/ difference of the y-coordinates over the difference over the x-coordinates
slope
100
a proportional relationship/y=mx/the ratio of two variable quantities is constant
direct variation
100

rise
300
The rate of change between any two points in a linear relationship is the same/ a linear relationship has a ____
constant rate of change
300
Is the relation a function? {(1,2),(7,8),(6,6),(5,4)}
yes
300
an equation that graphs a line/ the variables are to the first power/ the variable cannot be in the denominator, under a radical sign, or in absolute value symbol
linear equation
400
the set of all the y-coordinates
range
400
the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis
y-intercept
400
since any value can be used, there is no space between data values/ graphs a solid line
continuous data
400

350 miles
400
the variable for the range because it depends on the domain
dependent variable
500
the variable for the domain because it can be any number
independent variable
