Linear Functions

Unit 5 Vocabulary
-You will create a flashcard for each word listed.
-Flash card words will be assigned each week.
-It is your responsibility to keep up with your vocabulary
-For words that have a star next to them, you will create a Marzanos
vocabulary graphic organizer.
-Flash cards/Marzanos graphic organizers are due with your INB on test day.

Extrapolation-predicting a value outside the range of known values

Interpolation- estimating a value between two known values
**Linear Equation: an equation that models a linear function
(variables cannot be raised to a power other than 1. y=mx+b
Line of Best Fit- the trend line that shows the relationship between
two sets of data most accurately
Negative Correlation: when y tends to decrease as x increases
No Correlation: when x and y are not related
Point-Slope Form: an equation of a nonvertical line with slope m and
through point (x1 , y1)
Positive Correlation: when y tends to increase as x increases
**Rate of Change: shows the relationship between two changing
quantities
**Scatter Plot- a graph that relates two different sets of data by
displaying them as ordered pairs
Slope: vertical change divided by the horizontal change (rise/run)
Slope-Intercept Form: y=mx+b
Standard Form: Ax+By=C
Translation- a shift of a graph horizontally, vertically, or both
**Trend Line: line on a scatter plot, drawn near the points, that
shows a correlation
X-Intercept: the x-coordinate of a point where a graph crosses the
x-axis
Y-Intercept: the y-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses
the y-axis
