Today was Twin Day. Tomorrow is Wacky Wednesday.
In Advanced Algebra we wrapped up our discussion of solving word problems and linear equations in the slope intercept form, y = mx + b. We shall continue our discussion of slopes of linear functions.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Linear functions have positive, negative or zero slopes. Vertical lines have an undefined slope. Slopes of two lines can be parallel, non parallel or perpendicular. Perpendicular slopes are slopes of two different lines in which the slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another. For example, 5 and -1/5.
In Algebra, we began talking about Multi Step Linear Equations. For example:

In Algebra, we began talking about Multi Step Linear Equations. For example:
5x - 6 = 14
5x -6 + 6 = 14 + 6
5x + 0 = 20
(1/5) 5x = 20 (1/5)
x = 4
In Geometry, we are proving segment and angle relationships. I will put up a proof tomorrow.
Not much homework due to Homecoming Week.
Be Safe, Mr. Taylor.
