CONCLUSION IN THIS PROJECT I LEARNED HOW TO USE AN EQUATION (IN SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM) TO FIND THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO SAVE UP AND PURCHASE SOME THINGS THAT I WANT GIVEN A SET INCOME. I ALSO LEARNED HOW TO CONSTRUCT A LINE GRAPH IN EXCEL USING THE “CROSS-DRAG” TECHNIQUE. THIS PROJECT HELPED ME VISUALIZE THE MATH INVOLVED IN THE WORKING WORLD.
