9/21/11

Learning:
  • Reviewed notes from yesterday 
  • Took notes  on extending y=mx+b
  • CLICK on notes to make them bigger! 
  • Practiced Slope Intercept form 
  • Gave examples for what you put an equation into slope intercept form 
    • Allows you to compare prices--such as paying a set amount per month for your cable bill and paying additional for each movie you rent through the cable company. An equation for this might look like: y=$64 + 4x   where $64 is the amount you pay each month and each movie you rent costs $4 each. 
    • Makes it easier to graph the line on your calculator 
    • Allows you to quickly identify the slope (how steep the line is) and the y intercept (where the line graphed crosses the y axis)
    • When looking at y=mx+b   the m is the slope and the b is the y-intercept

Assignment:
  • One problem--Put 4x+3y=12 into slope intercept form (y=mx+b) 

Upcoming:
  • Creating a social contract 
  • Hands on practice for slope intercept form
