Wed., 10/30/13 Point-Slope Form of Linear Equations





Another way to write linear equations is by using the Point-Slope form. This form may be used when the slope of the line and a point in the line are given.

Tuesday 10/29/31 Rule-of-Four Project


Project on Applications of Writing Linear Equations using the Frayer Model was created in class  yesterday and today. Sample questions on applying slope and  intercept form of linear equations by identifying the rate of change and the starting amount were discussed.

Thurs., 10/24/13 Writing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form


We wrapped up the last chapter (Chapter 4) with a sorting activity and started Chapter  5 in today's class. We sorted  relations in various forms (graphs, table of values and mapping diagrams) as functions or not functions. We then went on to start  the next chapter which is on writing linear equations.
