  1. 2. The individual parts of an algebraic expression, such as 4x or 3, which are combined using operation symbols
  2. 4. A polynomial that has a degree of three
  3. 6. How a line with a slope greater than one (a>1) compares to the line y=x
  4. 8. A specific type of polynomial where the degree is exactly one
  5. 9. A linear situation where a quantity increases by a fixed amount over equal intervals
  6. 10. A widely used word for "letter-numbers" used to represent unknown quantities in an expression
  7. 12. A polynomial that has a degree of two
  8. 14. A term meaning "having one variable," used to describe polynomials like x
  9. 15. Represented by the letter ‘a’ in the equation y=ax+b, this value determines how steep a line is
  10. 17. An input-output process where an algebraic expression produces a corresponding value for every input of the variable
  11. 18. The value of the highest power of the variable present in a polynomial
  12. 19. The relationship between lines that have the same slope but different y-intercepts

  1. 1. The type of slope that represents a linear decay pattern
  2. 3. The type of slope that represents a linear growth pattern
  3. 5. A term in an algebraic expression that consists only of a fixed number and has a degree of zero
  4. 7. A sequence of numbers where the difference between any two consecutive terms remains constant
  5. 11. The constant ‘b’ in the equation y=ax+b, representing the distance from the origin where the line cuts the y-axis
  6. 13. The numerical part of a term that multiplies a variable
  7. 16. The point (0, 0) in the coordinate plane that all straight lines of the form y=ax must pass through
  8. 18. A linear situation where a quantity decreases by a fixed amount over equal intervals
