HW get out graphing paper (or you may use Desmos for part of this). graph y =x and y = -x on the same coordinate plane. Explain why those lines look the way they do.

Week 10 HW— Nov 28/29
Remember — we have an algebra-only class on Monday December 4th from 10 to 12 a.m.
Chp 3 Videos and answers are posted on the resource page as of 3 pm Friday. We’re moving all quizzes to week 11 -> Chp 3 Quiz #1 Chp 3.1-3.3 & Chp 6.4-6.6 Linear Equations….
Concepts: direct variation is a line which passes through the origin. Lines have a constant rate of change y=kx. Absolute value equations have both a positive and negative x value making a v-shape on the coordinate plane. We can translate or move them up and down by adjusting either the y intercept or adding a constant within the absolute value signs. Review of solving inequalities. Preview of factoring monomials.

Textbook Homework
PH 5-5 Direct Variation…
Read pg 262. Do Check understanding for example 1 Is an Equation a Direct Variation
PH 6-7 … Graphing Absolute Value EQ on coordinate plane (10)
Watch this video first from Mario Math tutor on graphing absolute value functions
Now go to Desmos.com/calculator to play around with absolute value function. You’re going to need to use the keyboard icon in the lower lefthand corner to access the absolute value signs.
Type in y= |x| + 0 Notice that this looks like slope intercept form with the y-intercept being 0: y = mx + 0
What is your guess on how to change the y-intercept? Test your guess. Write down how to make the graph slide up and down (this is called a translation along the y-axis)
Now, how can you make the graph move side to side (translate it along the x-axis?) Test a few hypotheses out.
When you’ve tried a few options, type in the equation from my desmos.com/calculator screenshot above. After doing that you can use the slider to change the value of a.
Write down how to translate an absolute value function along the x-axis.

Greenie Classwork—finish these pages if you didn’t finish them in class.
Answers are on the button labeled “Greenie Answer Keys”
Pages 5 (Solving one-step equations with decimals),
Page 6 (Two-step equations with a fraction bar),
Page 7 (Functions and ordered pairs— plugging in x, y pairs into equations,
Page 33 (Measurement and Geometry: Circle circumference and area)
Use C= πD becuase Pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter This also means I’m less likely to confuse the circumference and area formulas
Use A = πr^2
