i don't understtand direct variation at all!!! I read the chapter, but it still makes no sence to me! HELP!
ReplyDeleteReading the book won't help... it's too technical. IN THE SIMPLEST SENSE, a direct variation equation is a linear function that passes thru the origin (0,0).
ReplyDeleteThe mystical 'k' value you is simply a synonym for m or SLOPE.
We'll try to discuss it tomorrow in class.
Basically, if you are asked to recognize whether an equation is a direct variation, you need to verify that it is linear AND that it passes thru (0,0).
its a little fuzzy but you are right the book confuzed me A LOT. That makes it sound easier. I am having trouble with number 31 on 5-5 tho, and understanding number 3 in 5-2. An explanation pleez?
ReplyDeleteDear Mr.C,
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time with the "Modeling Linear functions using a scatter plot" could you maybe post a video or a link to pearson to help clear things up for me?? I think my biggest struggle with it is actually getting to point-slope form....
