Down
  1. 1. An image formed by plotting the solutions to an equation or inequality, or some other set of pairs of numbers, on a coordinate plane. To graph an expression containing the variable x, set y equal to that expression.

  3. 3. A constant that a variable or expression is multiplied by.
  4. 5. The middle number in an ordered list of data values. If there are an even number of values, the median is halfway between the two middle numbers in the list.
  5. 6. A letter (like x) that we can use to mean different numbers at different times.
  6. 7. A combination of variables and numbers using arithmetic (like 6−x).
  7. 8. A fraction in which the numerator is larger than the denominator.
  8. 9. A point where a curve meets the horizontal axis (the x-axis).

  10. 12. A numerator divided by a denominator.
  11. 14. The vertical line running through the origin on a coordinate plane.
  12. 17. A joint frequency divided by the total of its row or column in a two-way frequency table.
  13. 18. The values of x where an expression is zero. These are the x-coordinates of the x-intercepts of the expression’s graph. For a polynomial expression, these are usually called roots.
  14. 27. For equations or inequalities, two or more equations or inequalities that are all required to be true.
  15. 28. A straight line, or an equation or expression whose graph is a straight line.
  16. 30. The answer to a multiplication problem.
  17. 31. The average of a collection of data values.
  18. 32. A relation in which no x-coordinate appears in more than one (x,y) ordered pair.
  19. 35. Two fractions are equivalent if they have the same numerical value. Two equations or inequalities are equivalent if they have the same solution set.
  20. 36. The distance a number is from 0.
