3. Slope ● The incline of a line, defined by the ratio of the change in units on the vertical axis to the change in one unit on the horizontal axis.

4. Y-intercept ● The value of y on a graph when x is zero (0). The y-axis is the vertical number line on a rectangular coordinate system.

5. Domain ● the set of values assigned to the independent variables of a function.

6. Range ● the set of values assigned to the dependent variables of a function.

7. Variable ● Any symbol that could represent a number.

8. Volume ● The amount of space occupied in three dimensions and expressed in cubic units. Both capacity and volume are used to measure empty spaces; however, capacity usually refers to fluids, whereas volume usually refers to solids

9. Surface area ● is the measure of how much exposed area a solid object has, expressed in square units. Mathematical description of the surface area is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of a curve.

10. Dimensions ● the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify each point within it

11. Roots/Zeroes/Solutions/X-intercepts ● Where the Parabola is on the y axis

12. Parabola ● A u-shaped curve with certain specific properties. Formally, a parabola is defined as follows: For a given point, called the focus, and a given line not through the focus, called the directrix, a parabola is the locus of points such that the distance to the focus equals the distance to the directrix.

13. quadratic ● a quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree. The general form is ● ax^2+bx+c=0,\,

14. perimeter ● A perimeter is a path that surrounds an area.

15. parent function ● A set of basic functions used as building blocks for more complicated functions. The list of parent functions varies.
