this week in math ten I learned more on the topic of linear relations. linear inequalities and equations we’re a big part of math 9 but I did struggle with them a bit. This week we learned about linear patterns and how to plug in a certain number to get the answer for any pattern. you do this by using the x and y axis. I like using a t chart because it’s the most visual and straight forward way to figure out your equations. lets say you have a linear relation that starts at seven and goes up by seven. Your t chart will look something like this
__x__|__y__
1 | 7
2 | 14
3 | 21
now to find the patter we should first identify how much the number is increasing or decreasing by. after that we use x or whatever variable to make the equation
7x = y
this equation is easy because seven times 1 is equal to y 7 and seven times 2 is equal to 14 and so on and so on but sometimes you will need to add or subtract numbers to get the answer you need. you basically just need to find the number that will give you the correct answer every time and you’ll have to go through trial and error to get this answer sometimes.
