math vocabulary by Timothy L.
Across
- 5. a system of equations if there is no solution because the lines are parallel.
- 6. equations where there is no answer to the equation.
- 8. a relationship between two variables that tend to move in the same direction.
- 10. a line parallel to the x-axis of the coordinate system.
- 11. the point where a graph crosses the y-axis.
- 12. the slope of a vertical line.
- 13. the axis of a plane Cartesian coordinate system parallel to which ordinates are .measured
- 17. a set of points plotted on a horizontal and vertical axes.
- 19. the principal or horizontal axis of a system of coordinates, points along which have a value of zero for all other coordinates.
- 21. the degree to which two or more quantities are linearly associated.
- 25. used to mathematically describe the percentage change in value over a defined period of time, and it represents the momentum of a variable.
- 26. the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept.
- 27. an equation in which there is only one variable present.
- 28. to place numbers in place of letters to calculate the value of an expression.
- 29. a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language.
Down
- 1. a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression.
- 2. a system in which the change of the output is not proportional to the change of the input.
- 3. a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice versa.
- 4. A system of equations that have infinite solutions.
- 7. A system of linear equations with exactly one solution pair.
- 9. find an answer to, explanation for, or means of effectively dealing with (a problem or mystery).
- 14. a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought.
- 15. a way to display frequencies or relative frequencies for two categorical variables.
- 16. the beginning output value, or the y-value when x = 0.
- 18. equations where any value for the variable would make the equation true.
- 20. a standard way of presenting that object as a mathematical expression.
- 22. a line through a scatter plot of data points that best expresses the relationship between those points.
- 23. a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line.
- 24. equations where there is only one value for the variable that makes the equation true.
