  1. Domain of a func- all the possible x-values of a function tion
  2. Range of a func- tion
  3. Formula for slope The set of all the "input" numbers for which the function still works all y values are out put variables
  4. Facts about slope - Horizontal lines have slopes of zero.
    • Vertical lines have undefined slopes.
    • Non-vertical parallel lines have equal slopes.
    • Non-vertical perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is - 1.

  7. Angle sums - The sum of any number of angles that form a straight line is 180°.
    • The sum of any number of angles around a point is 360°.
    • Two angles that add to 90° are called complementary angles. - Two angles that add to 180° are called supplementary angles.
