graphing quarter 1 Flashcards
(34 cards)
intercept
where the function crosses the axis
symmetry
if you fold the item in half you see the same thing on both sides
axis of symmetry
the center line in a quadratic graph
quadratic
a u shaped graph that has a degree of 2
slope
rate of change= change by the same amount to get each next point
parallel
2 linear lines that never cross and have the same slope
to get an x intercept you
make y=0
to get a y intercept you
make x=0
to get x intercepts for quadratics you
factor and then find the solutions
x intercepts are written as
( ,0)
y intercepts are written as
( 0 , )
x intercepts are when the graph
crosses the x axis
y intercepts are when the graph
crosses the y axis
other names for slope
gradient, rate of change
slope formula
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
what letter represents slope
m
slope intercept form is
y=mx+b
b in y=mx+b represents the
y intercept
to graph in y=mx+b we start by
graphing the b value on the y axis
slope is graphed by
rise over run
you can recognize parallel lines on a graph because they
will never cross
parallel lines have
the same slope
standard form of a quadratic is
y=ax2+bx+c
a quadratic will look like what when graphed?
U shaped
