Analyzing Linear Equations
Posted by Emily Lansome on Tue, Jan 06, 2009 @ 09:02 AM
Analyzing linear equations is an important topic that falls under Algebra1. Some of the main sub-topics under analyzing linear equations are:-
Rate of Change and Slope
Rate of Change: The rate of change tells how a quantity is changing over time. Read more on Rate of Change
Slope and Direct Variation
Direct Variation A direct variation is described by an equation of the form y = kx. Read more on Direct Variation
Graphing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
The slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is: y = mx + b, where m is the given slope and b is the y -intercept. Read more on Graphing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
There are two methods to write the equation of a line given the slope and the coordinates of one point on it. Read more on Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
Writing Equations in Point-Slope Form
Point-Slope Form: (y-y1)=m(x-x1 ), where (x1,y1) is a given point on a nonvertical line and m is the slope of the line. Read more on Writing Equations in Point-Slope Form
