correlation coefficient - -a number r greater than or equal to -1 and less than or equal
to 1, that describes how closely the points in a scatter plot cluster around the line of best
fit.
linear regression - -a statistical method used to fit a linear model to a given data set
residual - -the signed vertical distance between a data point and a line of fit
X-Intercept - -The x-coordinate(s) of the point(s) where a graph intersects the x-axis.
Y-Intercept - -The y-coordinate(s) of the point(s) where a graph intersects the y-axis.
Linear Function - -A function that can be written in the form y=mx+b, where x is the
independent variable and m and b are real numbers. Its graph is a line.
Rate - -A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units.
Rate of Change - -A ratio that compares the amount of change in a dependent
variable to the amount of change in an independent variable.
Slope - -A measure of the steepness of a line.
Exponent - -The number that indicates how many times the base in a power is used
as a factor.
Exponential Expressions - -An algebraic expression in which the variable is in an
exponent with a fixed number as the base.
Exponential Function - -A function in the form f(x)=ab^x where a and b are real
numbers, a does not equal zero, b>0, and b does not equal 1.
Perfect Square - -A number whose positive square root is a whole number.
Exponential Growth - -An exponential function in the form y=a(1+r)^t, where r is the
rate of growth, a is the initial amount and t is the time.
