Thursday September 18

We spent almost the entire class reinforcing the concepts involved with the equation y = mx + b. Students were shown many examples of equations in that form, and shown how the equation relates to the graph. The "m" value is the slope, and the "b" value is the y-intercept.

When given an equation in the form y = mx + b, use the "b" value to locate the y-intercept. Then, use the slope to find a second point on the line.

Students were assigned Questions #1 and #2 on page 58.

Students are also reminded to make sure that they have brought in their book deposit.

Thanks
Mr. P.
