what is the constant of variation in a direct variation
the slope
what is a direct variation
y=mx
slope intercept form
y=mx+b
point slope form
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
formula to find slope
(y1-y2) / (x1-x2)
standard form
Ax + By = C
what does standard form need to have
positive A, no fractions
all direct variations go through the
orgin (0,0)
parallel lines have the
same slope, different y intercept
perpendicular lines have the
opposite reciprocal slope, different y intercept
what is the slope of a line perpendicular to m= 4
-1 / 4
y intercept
(0,y)
x intercept
(x,0)
how to find the x intercept
set y = to zero
slope is
rise / run or delta y / delta x
delta means
the change in
horizontal lines have a slope of
zero
vertical lines have a slope of
undefined
an equation is a function when there is no repetition in the
domain
(x,y) is also
(domain, range) , (input, output)
when you write the domain and range you have to use
braces
a function is linear when the domain and range change by the same
constant value
function notation
f (x) = x + 2
f (x) or f of x is also called
y
