Algebra: Graphing Terms and Definitions

COORDINATE PLANE
Grid formed by a horizontal and vertical axis
X-AXIS
Horizontal number line on a coordinate plane
Y-AXIS
Vertical number line on a coordinate plane
ORDERED PAIR
Two numbers (x, y) that locate a point on a graph
ORIGIN
Point (0, 0) where the axes intersect
SLOPE
Steepness of a line, rise over run
Y-INTERCEPT
Point where a line crosses the y-axis
LINEAR
Relationship that graphs as a straight line
QUADRANT
One of four sections of a coordinate plane
SLOPE-INTERCEPT
Form y = mx + b describing a line

About Algebra: Graphing

Graphing connects algebra to visual patterns, showing how equations look as lines and curves on a coordinate plane. These flash cards cover the key vocabulary students need to plot points, describe lines, and interpret graphs.

Algebra: Graphing Vocabulary

These flash cards pair graphing terms with their definitions. Students flip cards to learn terms like COORDINATE PLANE (the grid with x and y axes), SLOPE (the steepness and direction of a line), and Y-INTERCEPT (where a line crosses the vertical axis).

How to Use These Flash Cards in Class

After studying these flash cards, give each student a coordinate plane and a list of ordered pairs. Have them plot the points, connect them, and identify the slope and y-intercept using vocabulary from the cards.
