| Term | Definition |
|---|
| variable | a symbol (like x or y) that is used in mathematical or logical expressions to represent a variable quantity |
| coordinate graph | a grid of vetical and horizontal lines that show the relationship between two variables |
| y axis | The vertical line on a graph |
| dependent variable | (statistics) a variable in a logical or mathematical expression whose value depends in the independent variable |
| x axis | The horizontal line on a graph |
| independent variable | (statistics) a variable whose values are independent of changes in the values of other variables |
| scale | pattern, make, regulate, set, measure, or estimate according to some rate or standard |
| coordinate pair | A pair of numbers in the form of (x,y) that gives the location of a point in the coordinate plane. The x term gives the distance gives the distance left or right from the origing (0,0) abd tge y term gives the distance up or down fro m the origin. |
| relationship | The comparison of two pieces of information using logical operators: less than (<), greater than (>), equal to (=) |
| discrete data | Numerical data values that can be COUNTED |
| rule | a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct |
| continuous data | Numerical data values that can be MEASURED |
| equations | Two expressions shown to be = (3x -3= 2y -2) |
