⩥ x-intercept - the x-coordinate of a point where a line, curve, or
surface intersects the x-axis.
⩥ Slope of a line - The slope of a line (also called the gradient of a
line) is a number that describes how "steep" it is.
the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the
direction and the steepness of the line.
⩥ point-slope form - the equation of a straight line in the form y − y1
= m(x − x1) where m is the slope of the line and (x1, y1) are the
coordinates of a given point on the line — compare slope-intercept
form.
⩥ linear equations - an equation between two variables that gives a
straight line when plotted on a graph.
⩥ square function - square map is a function defined on all real
numbers that sends any real number to its square, i.e., its product with
itself
, ⩥ Interpolation - Interpolation is an estimation of a value within two
known values in a sequence of values.
⩥ Extrapolation - an estimation of a value based on extending a
known sequence of values or facts beyond the area that is certainly
known
⩥ Range and Domain - The domain is the set of all possible x-values
which will make the function "work", and will output real y-values.
The range is the resulting y-values we get after substituting all the
possible x-values.
⩥ Vertical shift - A vertical shift is when the graph literally moves
vertically, up or down. When a function shifts vertically, the y-value
changes.
⩥ Absolute Value - the magnitude of a real number without regard to
its sign.
How far a number is from zero.
⩥ difference quotient - The difference quotient is used to calculate the
slope of the secant line between two points on the graph of a function,
f
⩥ Quadratic Formula - to solve quadratic equations (polynomial
equations of the second degree). The general form of a quadratic
