Across
- 1. Lines in the same plane that intersect at a right angle. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
- 3. A form of the equation of a line given by y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line, and m is the slope.
- 4. A form of the equation of a line given by Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants, and A and B are not both zero
- 7. The point(s) where the graph of a function crosses the x-axis. It's the value(s) of x when y = 0.
- 8. A method used to find the slope of a line by calculating the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.
- 9. of Change The ratio of the change in the output (dependent variable) to the change in the input (independent variable). In linear functions, this is equivalent to the slope.
- 10. A measure of the steepness of a line. It indicates how much the y-value (vertical change) changes for a given change in the x-value (horizontal change). Symbolized by the letter "m."
Down
- 2. A function that can be expressed in the form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- 5. The point where the graph of a function crosses the y-axis. It's the value of y when x = 0.
- 6. Lines Lines in the same plane that never intersect. Parallel lines have the same slope.
