simple eventan event with only one outcome | |
slopethe ratio of the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line | |
slope formula (FIX)the equation for the slope of a line, written as (FIX) , where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line | |
slope-intercept forma linear equation, written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept | |
slope-intercept formulaa linear equation, written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept | |
special producta product resulting from binomial multiplication that has certain characteristics. For example x2 – 25 is called a special product because both its terms are perfect squares and it can be factored into (x + 5)(x – 5). | |
standard form of a linear equationa linear equation, written in the form Ax + By = C, where x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers | |
standard form of a quadratic equation (FIX)written as (ADD) , where x and y are variables and a, b, and c are numbers with a ? 0. In the case of a single variable the standard form becomes ax2 + bx + c = 0. | |
