Coefficient the value of: (row 1, column 1)(row 2 column 2) - (row 1, column 2)(row 2, column 1) in a 2 by 2 matrix 2. determinant the determinant found when column 1 consists of the constants and column 2 consists of the y-coefficients of a linear system 3. matrix the determinant found when column 1 consists of the x-coefficients and column 2 consists of the y-coefficients of a linear system 4. determinant form the determinant found when column 1 consists of the x-coefficients and column 2 consists of the constants of a linear system 5. system determinant the constant preceding the variables in a product 6. x-determinant a rectangular array made up of rows and columns 7. y-determinant the form Ax + By = C of a linear equation, where A, B, and C are integers
