We learned how to write the equation of a line today based on just the slope and a point, or two points with Notes #44. We did not get to example 5 today in class, but will go over it tomorrow. Make sure the rest of your notes are complete.

This is a tricky lesson, and will require extra studying of the notes on your part (and some serious practice). Please put in the necessary time and effort to gain mastery.

Week 19
Warm-Ups
Notes #40
Notes #41
Notes #42
Assignment #70 (Graphiti Fish WS)
Assignment #71 (TB pg 235)
Assignment #72 (TB pgs 249 & 574)

Wednesday 1/15

We tackled graphing horizontal and vertical lines today with Notes #42.

Remember that x = 3 tells you that the line will intersect with the x-axis at positive 3, just as y = -4 will intersect with the y-axis at negative 4. That's the whole key to determining both how to identify what kind of line it will be, and in graphing them correctly.

Homework #72: TB pg 249 (#19-26 all; identify and graph each) & TB pg 574 (#1-11 odd)

Be sure to check your answers in the back of the book when finished!

Tuesday 1/14

Today we learned how to find the slope of a line with Notes #41. We learned three different methods, all of which you should be proficient with by now.

Finding the slope of a line is an essential skill that you'll need for the remainder of the semester. Practice until you get it down perfectly.

Homework #71: TB pg 235 (#7-29 odd, #37, #39)
