Week 9 – Math 10 – writing linear equations

Writing linear equations:

In week 9 we learned about linear relations. One important part was learning how to write a linear equation. Being able to write linear equations is a fundamental base for the rest of this unit. 

To start, determine the pattern, then create a t-chart to make it easier. Find how much it increases every time, then find the amount between the amount it increases and the first y value and this will create your equation. 

Example: 

Vocabulary: 

T-chart: table of values 

Pattern: sequence of repeating numbers 

Linear equation: equation between two variables that create a line 

Linear pattern: pattern that makes a straight line
