A linear equation is an equation whose graph is a line. In Some way all linear equations are related. You cannot have a linear equation if a variable is raised to a power. So this means that y=x^2n is not an linear equation. A linear equation can only have a variable that is raised to the powere of 1. This means that y=2x is a linear equation. A linear equation consists of an x and y intercept.

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and of a single variable. The variable cannot be raised to a power other then 1. Linear equations can have one or more variables. A linear equation models a linear function. There are 3 different forms of ways to show a linear equation which are slope-intercept form, standard form, and point-slop form. In slope intercept form it is written like this for example y=mx+b. the variable m is equal to the slope, which means rise over run. The variable b is equal to the y intercept. Once you plot your y intercept, you start at the point and then use the slope to plot a second point.

A linear equation is an equation which the end results lead to be put on a graph. Linear equations can have one or more variable, such as x and y. There are three ways to show a linear equation. They are slope-intercept form, standard form, and point-slope form. No matter what, for the equation to be a linear equation, there must be one value for x and one value for y.

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant. A linear equation forms a line on a graph. The education site was helpful if you needed help trying to figure out the problem. I can't see any advertisment on the website, but it's geared toward students and teachers. It has a thing to click for learner or instructor. It also has a button for help.

A linear equation is an algebraic equation that is meant to be graphed. When graphed the, equation should always change at a constant rate. If it does not, the equation is not linear. Constructing a linear equation can be done by three forms, standard, point-slope and slope intercept. By using these forms one can find the intercepts of the line and from there the rate of change (slope) can be found. The website did not work on my computer due to the fact that i don't have java, but i did my best. P.S. the blogging was a nice change.

A linear equation is an algebraic equation that when graphed, forms a straight line. Although if there are two Y coordinates for the same X coordinate the equation is not Linear. Linear equations are presented in 3 forms. Point-slope, standard form and slope-intercept form. These three forms are used to graph a linear equation for different situations. The blogging experience is different and easy, also means we don't have to bring our heavy books home. Jesse Jehan
ReplyDeleteLinear equation- A linear equation is what you call an equation that has values that rise at a constant rate. Because the values keep rising at a constant rate, when the equation is graphed, it will form a strait line that extends infinitely across the coordinate plain.
ReplyDeleteSimulation- the pros are that it probably teaches you something the cons are that I don’t know what that something is....
Blogging experience- feelings neutral
Sorry I posted late….

A linear equation is an equation whose graph forms a straight line. Each term is or a product of a constant and is only to the first power of a variable. This means that the variable can not be raised to any power higher than 1. Linear equations can also have one or more vairable. A linear equation is made up of an x and y intercept. Linear equations can be writen in the 3 following ways: standard form, slope intercept form, and point slope form.
ReplyDeleteI like the new blogging feature in our algebraic studies. A pro to blogging is the ability to show thought and feelings on a certain topic. From blogging you are able to learn from your peers and you become less reliant on the teacher and become more independent in your and devolpe a learning process of your own. Another pro is blogging allows you to communicate with the teacher and students outside of school. This allows you to ask questions on a topic you are stuck and someone can respond and help you. As far as cons go for blogging i cant think of any.
Thank you Mrs. Murphy for the extra credit and sorry it is late.

A linear equation makes a straight line on a plot. It is made up of a x and y intercept. What a linear equation does is it goes at a consistent rate positavly or negativly. They can be written in a point slope, standard, and slope intercept form. Linear equations can be easy at times because you can easily find out your starting point and your rate of change. (ex Y= 4x + 8/3) This is telling you to start at 4 then go up 8 and over 3. It can be used for many things like showing a stocks value. I think the blogging experience can be fun because while you already have your own idea in your head about it that may not be clear by reading other blog posts you can develop your own way of learning something you might not have understand in your own way. =) Negron
ReplyDeleteA linear equation is an algebraic equation where you either constant or a single variable. A linaer equation occurs frequently in applied mathematic. The most common linear equation is y=mx+b. y represents the graph of up or down. the m determines the slope of the this equation. x is the line going left to right. b is where the line is crossed. My computer didn't have the thing for that website......so I just wrote the definition. I personally like the "old-school" way but I am indifferent on doing the whole blogging thing.

ReplyDeleteI like the blogging. It makes learning easier. Even though we aren't sharing these ideas in the classroom, I still like the blogging. Like Arthur said, it also is easier to connect with teachers and students outside of school. Thank you Mrs. Murphy.
