- 2. A mathematical process, usually used when solving a system of equations, where you stack the equations on top of each other and then add or subtract one set of terms in each equation, leaving one variable to solve for.
- 3. A number that is being multiplied by a variable.
- 7. Form, The name for the equation y=mx+b, which is critical information when graphing a line.
- 12. Lines, A set of lines that intersect to form a right angle and the product of their slopes is -1.
- 15. Angles, When combined, these angles add up to 180 degrees and thus form a straight line.
- 17. Plots, A graph that has dots plotted on a coordinate plane that represent the relationship between different measurements. It has a line of best fit which represents the general direction of the data.
- 18. A fixed number that is not originally multiplied by any variable unless removed or added to one side of the equation through inverse operations.
- 19. The result of solving for a variable or variables in an equation or system. It is sometimes represented as a single number and sometimes as an ordered pair.
- 21. Lines, A set of lines that are in the same plane, have the same slope and do not intersect at all.
- 22. , A set of equations that have the same solution or solutions.
- 23. The x value in a function, is the independent variable and can only be matched to one y-value.
- 24. A mathematical relation between inputs and outputs, where every input has to be mapped to exactly one output.

- 1. Root, Represented by a radical, it is the value that, when multiplied by itself, gives you the value of the original number.
- 2. A mathematical symbol that indicates that the numbers on both sides of the = sign are equal to each other.
- 4. A comparison between two expressions. They allow us to see if one equation is greater than, greater than, or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to the other.
- 5. A way to express information through the use of symbols that represent certain values. Sometimes, in a math problem, we are not given all of the values and have to work them out algebraically.
- 6. What you try to do to a variable, through inverse operations, to get it by itself.
- 8. The y-value in a function, it is the dependent variable and can only be matched to one x-value.
- 9. A mathematical expression that can be a number, a variable, or the product of a number and a variable. Whatever it is, it cannot be simplified further. They are mostly separated by + or - signs.
- 10. Basic mathematical actions done to manipulate an equation. These include multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.
- 11. The unknown value or values in a set of data.
- 13. A mathematical process in which you replace variables in an equation, expression, or inequality with numbers, or even another expression to reach a solution.
- 14. Form, The name for the equation Ax+By=C. It represents a way to write linear equations.
- 16. Value, The distance a number is from zero.
- 20. Absolute Deviation,The average distance of each of the data points in a data set from the mean.
