First Hour: I revised my notes during second hour. Please rewrite your notes to say these following steps on how to write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form:

1. write point-slope form

2. substitute x1 and y1 with a point on the line.

3. substitute m (you might have to caluculate it yourself. if you do, use the slope formula from aim 1)

4. write out slope-intercept form.

5. solve for y.

HELP A FELLOW FALCON ALUMNUS.....

• one of my previous students (Miguel P) from a LOOOOOOOONG time ago is getting married (yes, Ms. Chan is old!) and is trying to win a contest to get free photography services for his wedding


• if you'd like to help a fellow Flanagan alumnus, then follow the directions below:


• All you have to do is go to the FB page for Blue Bridge Photography (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Bridge-Photography/92548223730), like the page, and then just comment with "Miguel and Megan" on the wall. The more votes we get, the higher chance we have of winning! The last day to enter is Thursday, and they will announce the winners on Friday.


• From Miguel: "Thanks so much for doing this! Tell your students that if we win, I will personally stop by and give them a one-of-a-kind mathematics lesson (or tell them that I'll stop by and say hi and make sure they don't do any work that day)."


• not sure Miguel can get you out of any work for the entire hour and a half, but I am sure he would be eternally grateful for your help =)

Ch. 1 Practice Test

• this can be found on my website (I showed you in class today)



• it is on the Algebra 2 page....scroll down the page till you see "Worksheets"



• remember to do your work in boxes!



• remember how many times you told me in your journal that you said you would practice this in order to be ready for the test on Tuesday



• don't lie to yourself! if you said you'd practice it 5 times, you better have 5 sets of this practice test for me when you walk in on Tuesday!



• if you said you'd only do it once, you better get an A on the test Tuesday!
