 ADJACENT ANGLES | Angles that have a common vertex and a common side. |
| ALTERNATE EXTERIOR ANGLES | A pair of angles on the outer sides if two lines cut by a transversal, but on opposite sides of the transversal. |
| ALTERNATE INTERIOR ANGLES | A pair of angles on the inner sides of two lines cut by a transversal, but on the opposite sides of the transveral. |
| COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES | two angles whose measures have a sum of 90 degrees |
| CORRESPONDING ANGLES | Angles that are on the same side of the transversal and are both above or both below the lines cut by the transversal. |
| D=rt | distance = rate x time |
| FUNCTION FAMILIES | A function is an input- output relationship that has exactly one output for each input. |
| HYPOTENUSE | the side opposite the right angle in a right triangle |
| INFINITE | never-ending; going on forever |
| LEGS OF A TRIANGLE | the two sides that are not the hypotenuse. |
| LINE OF BEST FIT (CONCEPTUAL) | A straight line that best fits the data on a scatter plot. It can be used to predict a trend in the data. |
| MONOMIAL | an expression that is a number, a variable, or a product of numbers and/or variables |
| NONLINEAR EQUATION | An equation or inequality that, when represented graphically, results in a graph that is not a straight line (eg, circle, parabola, hyperbola). |
| PERFECT SQUARE | The product when a whole number is multiplied by itself. |
| PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM | In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the length of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse., a²+b²=c² |
| QUADRATIC EQUATIONS | a function in the form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c = 0, a≠0. |
| SEQUENCE | the order in which things happen |
| SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM | an equation written in the form y=mx+b is in slope-intercept form. The graph is a line with slope m and y-intercept b. |
| SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES | Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees |
| TRANSVERSAL | a line that intersects two or more lines at different points. |
| VERTICAL ANGLES | A pair of opposite congruent angles formed by intersecting lines. |
| VERTICAL LINE TEST | A test used to determine whether a relation is a function by checking if a vertical line touches 2 or more points on the graph of a relation |
