Gold Day – 2/11/2015 Blue Day – 2/14/2015
Complete Activity 2
Friday, 2/13/2015 is the last day of the 4 th 6 weeks. Monday, 2/16/2015 is a student holiday Test corrections or make up grades – Need to be done this week Unit 5 – Linear functions and Applications Review – slope, slope intercept form Applications of linear functions
Slope is represented by the letter m Slope is equal to the rise divided run m
Slope-intercept form is the equation of a line. Dependent variable It is also our y-coordinate Independent variable It is also our x-coordinate Slope Rate of change Rise over run y-intercept Where the line we are graphing crosses the y-axis
when we change the y-intercept? when we change the slope? hp?sectiondetailid=20019&fileitem=12704&catfilter=3599
In the equations, determine the slope and the y-intercept 1. y=2x+1 m=_________ b=_________ 2. y=5x+8 m=_________ b=_________ 3. y=-½x+2 m=_________ b=_________
Why do we need to know what linear equations are? Let’s see why with an example
The following table tells us the conversion from dollars to quarters. DollarsQuarters ? 132??
So, back to our questions Why do we need to know what linear equations are? So, we do not have to solve a million problems to get the final answer. We use the line that best fits our data to determine what our solutions are and equation of a line. ▪ Meaning, I do not have to solve a lot multiplication problems to plot each and every dollar to quarter point on the graph.
It also helps us make predictions, using the best line that fits the data we do have.
