What are the Coordinate Axes?
The coordinate axes are the x-axis, which is the horizontal axis, and the y-axis, which is the vertical axis. Remember, these axes go on forever.

How Do You Find the Midpoint Between Two Coordinates?
You've been given two coordinate points on a graph. When these points are connected they form a line segment. Now you have to find the midpoint of this line. Of course there is a formula and all you have to do is plug in the coordinate...

How Do You Solve a Quadratic Equation with Two Solutions by Graphing?
There are many ways to solve a quadratic equation. Let's check out how to solve a quadratic equation by graphing. But first, let's find the axis of symmetry and the vertex before making a table of values. Write the values as ordered...

What's Negative Correlation?
If the y-value decreases as the x-value increases then you have a negative correlation. Meaning that the line-of-fit has a negative slope.

How Do You Use a Scatter Plot to Find a Line of Fit?
What is a line-of-fit? Given a data set, plot the ordered pairs on a graph. It looks like a scatter plot. Now estimate, and draw a line that best fits what the data represents. That is your line-of-fit.

What's Point-Slope Form of a Linear Equation?
Show your class what the point-slope form or a linear equation looks like and how to find it with this video. An instructor defines point-slope form and proceeds to work through an example. Great for in-class or at-home use.

How Do You Graph an Exponential Function Using a Table?
One way to get values to be able to graph an exponential function is to make a table. This seems pretty straightforward. Set up a table to plug in random values for x. Then put those values into the equation to get the y-values. These...

What's a Solution to a System of Linear Equations?
Since the focus of this video is on explaining the solution to a system of equations, the lecturer does not work through the problem. Instead, she points out that the solution should be an ordered pair that makes each equation a true...

How Do You Find the X- and Y-Intercepts of a Line If You Have a Graph?
The x-intercept is the point at which the line of the equation crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept is the point at which the line of the same equation crosses the y-axis. It's as easy as that. Look at your graph and note these locations.

How Do You Use a Graph to Reflect a Figure Over the Y-Axis?
A reflection is just what you think it is, a mirror image. So how do you reflect a figure on a graph? Just flip it over. The teacher illustrates how to select a line of reflection (the y-axis) and make the calculations to flip the figure.
