The farther a slope is away from zero, the _______ it will be.
Narrower
Example: 10 will be 10 integers away from zero, compared to a slope of 1 (only one integer away). 10 will be narrower.
Same thing with negatives: -10 will be 10 integers away from zero. A slope of -1 will only be one integer away. -10 will be narrower.
The closer a slope is to zero, the _________ it will be.
Wider
Example: 10 will be 10 integers away from zero, compared to a slope of 1 (only one integer away). 10 will be narrower.
Same thing with negatives: -10 will be 10 integers away from zero. A slope of -1 will only be one integer away. -10 will be narrower.

Transformation: INSIDE- positive ? negative?
Positive = Left
Negative = Right
Transformation: OUTSIDE- positive? negative?
Positive = Up

Commutative Property
The order doesn’t matter
Example: 5 + 4 = 4 + 5 = 9
Associative Property
Grouping doesn’t matter
Example: (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3) = 6
Distributive Property
Numbers outside are multiplied by terms inside ()
Example: 3(x + y) = 3x + 3y
Additive Identity
Anything plus 0 equals itself.
Example: x + 0 = x
Multiplicative Identity
Anything times one is itself
Example: 1 * x = x
Additive Inverse
When we add inverses, the sum is 0
Example: -2 + 2 = 0
Multiplicative Inverse
When we multiply inverses, the product is one.
Example: 4 times 1/4 = 1
What does FOIL stand for?
First, Outside, Inside, Last
Used when multiplying two binomials.
Ex: (x + y) (x + y)
Multiply the first numbers, then outside numbers, inside numbers, last numbers.
Lastly, add like terms.
