Visual representations of mathematical relationships between variables or functions.
Imagine you have a map that shows the different routes you can take to reach your destination. In calculus, graphs are like those maps. They help us understand how different equations and functions relate to each other visually.
Points on a graph: Specific coordinates that represent values of variables in relation to each other.
Slope: The measure of steepness or incline of a line on a graph.
Inflection point: A point on a graph where the curve changes concavity (from concave up to concave down, or vice versa).
