Championship Game Day

Today, we looked at the two forms of a line: standard form and slope-intercept form. We looked at how each line can help us quickly graph a line. Briefly, here are the main points of our discussion:

Standard Form of the Equation: Use this to determine the x- and y-intercepts of the line. Graph these two points and you have the line.

Slope-Intercept Form of the Equation: Plot the y-intercept. Then, using the slope, find one or two more points that will be on the line by going up and over. Draw the line.

Tonight's Homework: None, since most of you will be watching the BCS Championship ball game tonight. Go Ducks! More importantly, let's hope it's a close, injury-free game!
