Concepts for March 21st

Algebra I

Today we discussed
First we reviewed slope as rise over run and used our slope formula to find missing coordinates when given an incomplete point, a second point, and the value for the slope.  Then our discussion about graphing and functions moved into the various forms that represent lines.  We discussed the point-slope form and the standard form of a line.  When given a point and the slope, we plugged those values into the point-slope formula and then solved to put the line in its standard form.

Recall:

Standard form of a line is:
Ax + By = C

Point-slope Form of a line is
y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m=slope and (x1,y1) is a given point.

Pre-Algebra

Today we discussed
We are getting really competent at solving more and more complex equations.  We reviewed the different types of equations and the distributive property, and moved into multi-step equations and the steps needed to solve those.  We also reviewed basic solving of inequalities and then began our exploration of solving multi-step inequalities.

Sections Covered in Textbook
1)  7-5:  Solving Multi-Step Equations (pages 267-269)
2)  7-6:  Solving Multi-Step Inequalities (pages 270-271)

Video Tutorials
