My A on desmos is actually fully shaded in but you have to zoom in all the way to see it since from far away it glitches.

Write up:

For my easier letters like E, I, and L i would use horizontal and vertical lines since i was able to make the letters using that type of liner relation. Then for the M i used y-intercept since i wanted a slope and i find that equation the easiest to do compared to general form and point slope intercept. For the A i used a bunch of different equations since i wanted to challenge myself. I knew i could do all the equations in y-intercept form which was hard enough as is but i went further and then changed a few into general form and point slope intercept. I think two parts of the A i was also able to use horizontal lines. For my M i wanted the same slant on the left and on the right. I did my first slanted line on the left and used the same slope but negative to get it the exact same on the other side and just used train and error to get the y intercept where i wanted it. I did the same for all the slanted lines in the A. For changing the height and length of all my liner relations i used domain and range which is what we learnt from the past math unit. If you didn’t use domain and range then you wouldn’t be able to limit the height or length of your relations. For domain and range you use these brackets {} and inside then you use great than, less than, greater than and equal to, and lastly equal to but less than. For domain you use x and for range you use y in your equation. To change the position of the lines i would either us the y intercept or the x intercept. I definitely had a few challenges for this project. I haven’t done it before like some of my class mates so it took me a bit of getting used to but after that it was pretty smooth sailing till i got to the A. This was my last letter in my name and definitely the hardest. This one was almost all diagonal lines put together which was different to my other letter since they were almost all horizontal and vertical lines. The A was also so challenging since almost all the lines weren’t whole numbers they were like 32.695. I had to use a lot of trial and error for the A but was so proud when it turned out. Another challenge at the start was getting my own colours but once i asked Jayden i was able to learn and do it myself. Lastly a challenge i had was shading the letters in. Once i got it it was easy but again the A since it had so many slanted lines was very frustrating to do and i was asking Jocelyn how to do it a lot and Haley. For aha moments it was definitely when i finish my first letter i felt confident and was able to do the rest pretty fast (except the A). Once i got the first one down i was like ok I understand this and its not to bad but before that i was like how do i do this and how am i getting this done. I got a lot of help form Haley Millar since she has done this in the past i knew that when i asked her i would get a answer and she would be able to guide me through my troubles. I also asked Jayden for help on getting special colours since i wanted my name to be in pastel which is my favourite types of colours which is not something Desmos has as their default colours. I also got help from Jocelyn since we sat next to each other in math today and we really wanted to get our desmos done. Like i said my main strategy was trial and error but another was to do the equations that I found the easiest and then change them to the other equation forms to fit the criteria of the assignment. I don’t know if this counts as a strategy but i asked for help when ever i needed it since i wanted my name to be the best it could be and i wanted to add challenging things to my name to show my creativity. This assignment really helped me understand how much a slope can change your liner relation or how much the line changes where its located on the graph if you switch up the y intercept. I realized how much domain and range effects where your liners relations is as well. If you limit it then the line wont be infinite and allows you to make things with these equations.
