In this chapter you will learn how to represent patterns in a variety of formats, interpret linear and non-liner relationships, find the equation and slope of a line, the properties of slope, m, and the y intercept, b and graphing of horizontal and vertical lines.
Discrete Data : a set of data where a variable must be a whole number. represents a fixed quantity, such as the number of pages in a book or the number of students in a class
Continuous Data: a set of data where a variable can be any real number. represents the measure of a quantity that allows for continuous change, such as speed or temperature.
Linear Relation: a relation between two variables tha appears as a straight line when graphed. y= 2x +1 is a linear relation
Exponential Relation: a relation between two variables where one of the variables is an exponent. n= 4^t is a exponential relation.
Quadratic Relation: a relation between two variables that appear as a parabola when graphed. y= -x^2 +8 is a quadratic relation.
Parabola:a U shaped curve
First differences: the differences between consecutive y-values in tables of values with evenly spaced x-values.

The slope of a line characterizes the general direction in which a line points. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of a point on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates.
