#3.1 Linear Systems
  • MA.912.A.3.14: to solve of linear equations in two variables using graphical methods.
  • MA.912.A.3.15: to solve real world problems involving systems of linear eqautions in two variables.
  • (9, 10, 11, 12, 15)

Ch. 2 Test will be this Friday!

  • Please review all of your notes to prepare for it. If I were you, I would go back through EACH section and try a couple of problems to refresh your memory. Pay close attention to the problems we did in our notes as you already have the answers for those problems as well as an explanation should you not remember how to do it. I will ask at least one question from each aim we discussed in class.

  • to graph 2 variable inequalities
  • to write a 2 varaible inequality of a graph
  • (9-13) odd
  • (19-23) odd
  • hint for #23: in order to graph this one, you'll have to get rid of the fractions. multiply by a number that all 3 of your denominators go INTO evenly.

Good luck to my "Boys of Fall" tonight....kick some Spartan booty!

P.S. Guess what, Stevie?.....

Have a PG-13 weekend!

Writing & Graphing Equations in Standard Form
  • you MUST write the above title at the top pf your homework paper!!!!!
  • if your homework doesn't say exactly what it says above, I will not give you a homework grade! There are a lot of papers in the inbox. I don't want to guess what I'm grading. If you don't write a title at the top of your paper (and the title must MATCH what I put on the blog as this is how I am writing it in my gradebook), I can't give you a grade! So STOP being LAZY!
  • Write the equation of a line if given the following slope and point on the line. Afterwards, graph each line.
  1. m=3 (2,6)
  2. m=2 (4, 8)
  3. m=-4 (8,-4)
  4. m=-5 (-10, 15)
  5. m=-3 (-6, -9)
  6. m=-2 (6, 4)
  7. m=6 (12, 18)
  8. m=-1 (10, 1)
  9. m=7 (-2, 4)
  10. m=2/3 (4, 6)

  • (7-31) ALL!!!!
  • don't forget that since we come back to school on Friday, you will be taking a quiz! Be sure that you know what a function is, as well as be able to identify the domain and range of a relation, and evaluate a function. The evaluate a function problem will entail you knowing how to add/subtract/multiply fractions!!!

Happy Rosh Hashanah to my Jewish students & their families!!!! =)
