Two days in a row! Woohoo!

Here goes: today we checked our linear inequalities, and I would say that most of you have some serious redoing to do. Make sure that happens, since they will be on tomorrow's quiz. Then we started Project 7. You are creating a graph of a linear equations, based on a constant ratio.

PROJECT 7- Constant ratio


In this project you will create a poster with a graph of a linear equation.

1) Choose a realationship with a constant ratio. Example: 5 fingers on a hand.
2) Graph the linear relationship using only Quadrant 1. Label the axes, and mark at least 3 points.
3) Label one of the points, explaining what it means (i.e. 3 hands, 15 fingers)
4) Label the y-intercept, explaining what it means (i.e. when there are no hands, there are no fingers.)
5) Label the slope, using the rise/run. Explain what the slope means (when we add one hand, we add five fingers).
6) Write the equation of the line you have graphed. (In my case, y= 5x.)
7) Decorate the edges of your poster to reflect what the poster is about.

Grading:
an A poster will have followed all the directions above accurately, be neat and colorful, and reflect your understanding of linear equations.

Due: next Tuesday (December 16th.)

There you go! Have fun!
