Across
  1. 5. the coordinate at which the graph of a line intersects the y-axis
  2. 7. a function that has a constant rate of change and can be modeled by a straight line
  3. 9. a function that cannot modeled as a straight line
  4. 10. to add two or more numbers or like terms into one as a way of simplifying an expression
  5. 11. angles formed on different sides of a transversal
  6. 13. reduce to lowest terms
  7. 14. a unit of measure based on dividing a circle into 360 equal parts, and used to measure angles, arcs, and rotations
  8. 17. any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers
  9. 19. an equation in which the highest power of any variable is one and when graphed forms a straight nonvertical line
  10. 20. a written form of a linear equation, y =mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

  5. 6. same shape and same size; equal
  6. 8. the angles that occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others
  7. 12. a line that cuts through two or more lines (usually parallel)
  8. 15. the multiplication of a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then adding the products

  10. 18. two lines on the same plane that do not meet and are equal distance apart
  11. 22. arranging numbers in a well-defined manner
  12. 24. angles formed on the outsides of two lines cut by a transversal
  13. 26. to find the numerical value of a mathematical expression
  14. 30. a statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal
