Little Reflection about the project:

This project didn’t do much in teaching me anything related to math. The only things I learned (in terms of math, that is) are how to graph an absolute value equation and how to graph linear lines when all you have are 2 points, but really efficiently (I had to do it once-a-many times).

There weren’t any strategies per se, but the aforementioned strategy about how to graph linear functions with 2 points really fast is quite simple:

Step 1: Figure out the 2 points on the graph. 

Basically, figure out where you want to put the 2 points on the graph. To make life really easy, I made each point drag-able, where all I had to do was drag it with my finger to where I wanted the point. Sometimes, when I had a point exactly where I wanted it on one of the axes, I changed the way it was drag-able to “Up-Down” or “Left-Right,” depending on the situation.

Step 2: Use another Desmos tab.

The next step is about using Desmos to the fullest. This requires another tab at “desmos.com,” but instead of being at the project, it had the scientific calculator open. The next part of this step involves some pre-set-up things written down (each time I hit enter, it means another line using the calculator):

x1=

y1=

x2=

y2=

y1-y2

x1-x2

x1 and y1 are where you put the coordinates of the first point, and x2 and  y2  are the coordinates of the second point. The output in the bottom 2 lines are the “Rise” and “Run” of the slope. Take the 2nd-from-bottom line and put it in a fraction above the bottom line, and you get the slope. Put the slope into a point-slope intercept equation and that’s it.
