Linear Models (HSC SSCE Mathematics Advanced): Flashcards

Mathematical tools representing straight-line relationships

Input values; shown on horizontal axis

Output values; shown on vertical axis; depends on input

Initial value (starting amount before any change occurs)

Rate of change between quantities

$\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$

Satisfies inequality and is realistic in context

Satisfies inequality mathematically but not practical

Reverse the inequality sign

Cannot be negative (temperature is an exception)
