Vertical Line Test

If passes 2 points on graph=> NOT a function

Coinciding Lines

Same Line ( All Real )

Inconsistent Lines

ParallelI

Independent Lines

Have one solution; Different slopes

Subsitution

Solving for one variable in one equation & plugging it into the second

Elimination- Linear Combination

Add equations together to eliminate a variable

Quadratic Function

f(x)=ax2+bx+c

Linear Function

f(x)=x+c

Vertex of a Quadratic Function
