100
The region located below the x-axis and to the left of the y-axis.
What is Quadrant III?
100
The coordinate in an ordered pair that represents number of units the point is located to the left or right of the origin.
What is the x-coordinate?
100
A visual representation of all possible solutions to an equation.
What is a graph?
100
The location where a linear equation crosses the vertical axis.
What is the y-intercept?
200
The four regions of the coordinate plane with boundaries formed by the x-axis and the y-axis.
What are quadrants?
200
The region where all points with negative x values and positive y values are located.
What is Quadrant II?
200
The direction you would move three units to find the location of the point corresponding to the coordinate pair ( 7, -3).
What is down?
200
The name of the set of all possible x-values of a function.
What is the domain?
200
The characteristic of the graph of a linear equation that is represented by the ratio of the change in the y values to the change in the x values.
What is slope?
300
The location represented on the coordinate plane by the coordinate pair (0, 0).
What is the origin?
300
The location of the point represented by the coordinate pair ( 293, -543).
What is Quadrant IV?
300
The number of units you would move right to find the location of the point corresponding to the coordinate pair (16, -12)
What is 16?
300
When the value of y must be calculated for a given value of x, then y is known as this type of variable.
What is dependent?
300
When graphing, If a coordinate pair represents a solution to an equation, the point will be found here.
What is on the line (or graph)?
400
The number of variables required to find a location on a coordinate plane.
What is two.
400
The two quadrants where both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate have the same signs.
What are Quadrants I and III?
400
Of the following ordered pairs, the one that is a solution to y = 3x + 5. (3, 12), (3, 15) or (3, 14).
What is (3, 14)?
400
The set of all possible output values of a function.
What is the range?
400
The basic linear equation that when graphed is located only in Quadrants I and III, has a y-intercept of zero, and has a slope of 1.
What is y=x?
500
The coordinate that is equal to zero for any point located on the y-axis.
What is the x-coordinate?
500
The graph of the relation between your height and weight would be located in this quadrant.
What is Quadrant I?
500
The ordered pair (3, -5) does not make the equation y = 2x - 7 true and proves this condition.
What is no, this is not a solution?
500
The property that is used when replacing a variable with an actual value.
What is substitution?
500
Data in two variables that is graphically represented by a line of connected points. It often represents the change of a variable over a period of time!
What is continuous?
