1. Learning Log # 26 y=mx+b Linear Equations Graphing a Linear equation creates a straight line! No curves, no bends! Any linear relationship will have a constant growth factor ! Linear equations are in the form… mb y = mx + b x y XY 07 110 213 316 3 3 3 How many tiles are in figure 0, Where the line starts, & y intercept Growth Factor/Slope! How many new tiles each figure. X is the figure number Total Number of tiles Y-intercept Y=??+?

3. Learning Log: y=mx+b *Example of a Linear Equation Fig 0Fig 1Fig 2Fig 3 Figure 0 has 1 tile “b” The Growth Factor is +2 each time “m” So in y=mx + b you get y= 2x + 1
