Week 7 – Graphing Linear Equations
This time we learned about how to graph linear equations, this wasn’t that hard to get the hang of, and was pretty fun to do in the right way. I enjoyed doing the “Green Globs” activity, and found it to be pretty easy. Now, graphing linear equations works like this, you’ll get something like: y=-5x+10 and you’ll have to graph that. I decided to use paper instead of $latex, sorry if this is hard to read.
Now just in case you couldn’t read some of it, here’s what the top bit says:
y=-5x+10
-5= The Slope
The slope shows the way the line goes (Bottom left to top right if positive and top left to bottom right if negative) and it shows the angle of the line, like how slanted it is.
+10 = Y intercept
The Y-intercept shows you where the line interjects with the Y axis. This is more or less the start point for graphing Linear Equations.
