Question

Match the vocab word with the correct definition.

1. slope-intercept form
y = mx + b form of a linear equation where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept
2. sequence
the slope of a vertical line because the change in the x-values, the denominator, is zero
3. term
the steepness of a line; rise over run, change in y over the change in x
4. slope
parts of expressions and equations separated by operation symbols and/or equal signs
5. undefined slope
a list of numbers

Answer 1

1. slope-intercept form — y = mx + b form of a linear equation where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept (definition 1)

2. sequence — a list of numbers (definition 5)

3. term — parts of expressions and equations separated by operation symbols and/or equal signs (definition 4)

4. slope — the steepness of a line; rise over run, change in y over the change in x (definition 3)

5. undefined slope — the slope of a vertical line because the change in the x-values, the denominator, is zero (definition 2)
