sorry hannah,i am dumb xD . but wat i did is.u only need to complete 10 questions.so i ended session and did it again,avoiding tht question.but if u really wanna try, just guess and look at the explanation.

Hyun P. per.6

Mr. Gerson said...

hannah, based on what it looks like you wrote, the domain would be all real numbers.

Hyun, probably about 2 weeks. I still have lots to teach you. A student recommended that I give everyone a quiz tomorrow, and I think it is a wonderful idea. There is some stuff I told you guys to memorize that I do not think very many students took seriously.

Yes, that was a big hint.

I'm not sure Hannah. I got really easy questions. Most of mine had a chart and asked which ones from the chart was the domain. Sorry...

Will you get a lower grade if you talk about slope-intercept form in the introduction?

The essay is about what you learned in linear equations.
Explain

*what happens when b changes
*what happens when m changes
*are there differences for positive, negative, or fraction

*examples are necessary ( from the 12 equation.)
P.S. No pictures.

Lauren, why would you talk about slope-intercept form? he said that you got this all wrong if u write about slope intercept form.(i think)you just write down the observations as b or m changes.

Shiloh, he said pen is better than pencil.so yes, you could.

shivani, u write down if there are differences for +, -, or fractions

I wasn't going to write about slope-intercept form in the body paragraphs I was just going to write what y, x, b, and m are in the introduction and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't get a lower grade because of it.

Nick said...

wait... you can't talk about slope intercept form? I have to rewrite the interduction then!

Nick said...

for our essays...do our variables from the slope intercept form have to be written as

"m", and "b"
or the equations
"y = 3", "y = -3"
I wrote all the variables and equations like that...

*dreamstar* said...

Hyun, thanks for the answer about pen, but this whole thing is about slope-intercept form. Where do you think he got b and m from? slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. Lauren, I think it's ok.

my brother is not listening to me about the way we did the problem in class because of the directions saying do the problem in Slope intercept form. I was wondering even though it says that, if we shall do it the way you taught us this morning.
