| x-intercept | The x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the x-axis. It is a point on the graph when y = 0: ( __, 0) |
| y-intercept | The y-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the y-axis. It is a point on the graph when x = 0: (0, __ ) |
| linear function | The equation Ax+By = C represents a ________ _________, a graph of a straight line. |
| standard form of a linear equation | Ax + By = C where A, B and C are real numbers and A and B are not both 0. |
| slope | The ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two points on the line. |
| quadrant | The four regions into which the coordinate plane is divided by the x-axis and the y-axis. |
| origin | The point (0, 0) on a coordinate plane. |
| slope-intercept form | A linear equation written in the form y=mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the equation's graph. |
| ordered pair | A point (x, y) that can be plotted on a coordinate plane. There is an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate. |
| coordinate plane | A two-dimensional graph created by the x-axis and the y-axis. |
