Attached is a photo of how to find an equation of a line through the coordinates (6,2) and a slope of 1/2. This could be helpful if a line is graphed and one must find the equation to then solve using substitution or elimination.

This week I learned about the “slope man” which is a visual aid to help me figure out if the slope of a line, in graphing, is positive, negative, undefined, or zero. If a slope is negative, the line is decreasing and if a line is increasing, it is positive (shown by the eyes of the man). If a line is undefined, the line is straight and runs vertically up and down (shown by the nose). If a line is zero, the line is straight and runs from left to right horizontally (shown by the mouth).

This week I learned what interpolation means in graphing points. Interpolation is basically an estimated guess as to where new points in the range of data would end up in the graph.

One thing I learned this week, was when to leave dots on a graph or connect them with a line. If something being measured is countable, like objects, (for example; people, or candy) then the dots should be left the way they are. If the thing being measured on the graph is something that is measurable (for example; time), then the dots should be connected with a line.

This week we learned how to factor simple trinomials.
- first we found all the factors of 18 then decided which pair would get to 3 (specifically 3x)
- -3 and +6 would have an answer of 3.
- Then we took the x squared and grouped each x with the -3 and the +6.
- Lastly (optional) I checked to see if I factored correctly by using the “claw method”.
