1

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.

Commutative Property

The order doesn’t matter

Example: 5 + 4 = 4 + 5 = 9

New cards
11

Associative Property

Grouping doesn’t matter

Example: (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3) = 6

New cards
12

Distributive Property

Numbers outside are multiplied by terms inside ()

Example: 3(x + y) = 3x + 3y

New cards
13

Additive Identity

Anything plus 0 equals itself.

Example: x + 0 = x

New cards
14

Multiplicative Identity

Anything times one is itself

Example: 1 * x = x

New cards
15

Additive Inverse

When we add inverses, the sum is 0

Example: -2 + 2 = 0

New cards
16

Multiplicative Inverse

When we multiply inverses, the product is one.

Example: 4 times 1/4 = 1

New cards
17

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.
