Topic

Linear Functions

Definition

Direct variation describes a linear relationship between two variables where one variable is a constant multiple of the other, expressed as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

Description

Direct variation is a fundamental concept in linear functions, illustrating how one variable changes proportionally with another. The constant of variation, 𝑘 k, represents the rate of change.

In real-world scenarios, direct variation can model relationships such as speed and distance, where distance traveled varies directly with time at a constant speed. Understanding this concept is crucial in fields like physics and engineering.

Topic

Slope

Definition

Delta x is the change in the x-coordinate in a linear relationship.

Description

The term Delta x is fundamental to understanding slope as it represents the horizontal change in a line’s position. In real-world applications, Delta x can represent the distance traveled over time in physics and engineering contexts.

Topic

Slope

Definition

Delta y is the change in the y-coordinate in a linear relationship.

Description

The term Delta y signifies the vertical change, essential for calculating slope used in graphing and data interpretation. In practical scenarios, Delta y can illustrate changes in temperature over time or the rise in elevation in geography.

Topic

Slope

Definition

Grade is a ratio indicating the steepness of a slope.

Description

The term Grade commonly refers to the angle of elevation or slope expressed as a percentage. In engineering, grades are crucial for designing roads and railways, ensuring safety and efficiency.

Topic

Slope

Definition

Gradient represents the rate of change of a quantity.

Description

The Gradient measures how steep a line is, calculated by the ratio of the rise to run. This concept is significant in fields like physics and economics where gradients can represent relationships between variables.

Topic

Slope

Definition

Negative Slope indicates a decrease in value as x increases.

Description

The Negative Slope signifies that as one variable increases, the other decreases, often used in economics to depict inverse relationships. This term finds relevance in real-world scenarios like demand curves which slope downwards.
