MATH REVIEWER: 2nd monthly test

CARTESIAN PLANE
(Rectangular coordinate system)

-has TWO SETS of number line PERPENDICULAR WITH EACH OTHER

- can be moved UP OR DOWN
- it is a way or a system used for graphing number pairs. It is also referred to as RECTANGULAR
COORDINATE SYSTEM

Rene Descartes – PROPOSED the Cartesian coordinate system in 1596-1650, was a French
Mathematician, Philosopher and Theologian

PARTS OF THE CARTESIAN COORDINATE SYSTEM

Horizontal Line – x- Axis

Vertical Line – y- Axis
Origin – the point of intersection of x- and y- axis (0,0)
Quadrants – the four regions caused by the intersection of x- and y- axis (Quadrants are counted
counterclockwise)
SIGNS OF QUADRANTS

LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLES

-can be written in standard form “ax + by = c” where as a, b and c are numbers or integers
- has TWO VARIABLES which has the value/degree of their exponent set to 1

STANDARD/GENERAL FORM
ax + by = c – a and b are the COEFFICIENTS OF THE EQUATION, and c is the CONSTANT of the equation

SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM

y = mx + b – “m” is your SLOPE and “b” is the Y- INTERCEPT

Solution – the ordered pair that makes the mathematical equation a TRUE STATEMENT

SLOPE OF A LINE

Slope – is the STEPNESS/GRADIENT of the line

 - the RATIO OF RISE TO RUN
- the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate

TYPES OF SLOPE

1) Positive Slope -UP 3) Slope is EQUAL TO ZERO - HORIZONTAL

2) Negative Slope - DOWN 4) Undefined Slope - VERTICAL

NOTE:
when
reading
SLOPE/S START FROM THE LEFT GOING TO THE RIGHT. (Positive/Negative Slopes)

SOLVING/GRAPHING SLOPES

1) Graph – formula used is “m = Rise/Run”

RISE – it is “how many times/units you move up or down from point to point”
RUN – it is “how far you move left or right from point to point”
2) Slope of a line GIVEN TWO POINTS – Formula used is “(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)”
-(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) are the coordinates of two points on the line.
- means the CHANGE IN Y OVER THE CHANGE IN X

3)

Equation of a Line – formula used is the slope intercept

form “y = mx + b”
- where “m is your SLOPE” and “b as your y- intercept”
