If we were to have the formula of y=mx+b how would we graph that? Well we would need an example, because we can't just make a line out of that formula because it doesn't have any numbers. So for an example we could use an equation like y=2x+12. Now that we have and equation we can see where the line would start and how the slope would be. The starting point would be 12 since b or the y-intercept is 12.
     We know that the equation would then start from twelve because it is the y-intercept. Then we would use m or the slope to find out how steep the line is. So we would start at 12 and count up to and then over one because if the number has to be like a fraction even though it doesn't have a number as the denominator there will always be a one on the bott 

What are some questions you could ask about from a line? We know that the line is always going to have a slope, even if it's a strait line or a vertical line it's always going to have a slope no matter what. There's one question we can ask about a linear equation. If it's a vertical line then there will be a slope that the
numbers will show. If the line is straight then the slope will be a number that will constantly show up
      We can also ask about the starting point. If the equation is y=mx+b the slope would be the m and the starting point would be the b, or the y-intercept. Y would equal the line which would be what you would be trying to solve, and x would be the number you would multiply the slope by to get a line and that would tell you how long the line would be. 

Which is a better deal, a liter of Mountain Dew, or a 12 pack? I say think that the best deal of Mountain Dew is the 12 pack better than the liter because the price is almost the same, but your getting more of the soda in the liter than when you get a 12 pack. 
     I figured this out with my math doing the fraction of the cost of a liter by and multiplying it by the other fraction of the 12 pack by how ever many ounces there was. Before I multiplied I had to change the liter into ounces so that my math could be correctly done. Then, you would have to find the unit rate and find out how much you were paying per ounce. That way I found out that the twelve pack was a better deal.

     The past semester took "forever" to complete, but now that it's over we only what we can remember about it. I remember that at the beginning of the year I didn't know how to do all those math problems that we did. Now, I think those are like addition facts, easy as adding 2+2, or 1+1. The time it took me to learn the concept wasn't all that great, because if I would struggle I wouldn't want to continue learning but, I did and now I know more then I used to.
     I remembered doing "pirate codes" with the videos where Mr.Erickson would use his pirate voice to explain to us how to find x. Then, from there we had to learn longer pirate codes that would only make sense if we had studied and assured ourselves we knew what we were doing. I also remember at the very beginning of the year we had to make 

Y=MX+B is an equation that helps you find anything. It helps you find how fast something is going, or how to graph a point. Let's say you had a problem and you didn't know how to fill in the equation in order to solve your problem. Y, you would have to fill out the y-coordinate. Every time you have a problem, you either have a graph or coordinates that they give you. 
     The m is the slope, and if you have a graph you see how many points you go over and up or over and down, with that you find your rate of change, or slope. The x is just like the y except you use the x-coordinate. The first number in the coordinates is the x. The b is the starting point, there you start on graph and then continue with the slope.

This quarter I was struggling with y=mx+b point and intercept unit. I started out know what to do but then once we had to find out how to graph it from two points I got really confused. First, I tried asking my sisters for help, but I just couldn't understand  what they were trying to teach me. Then I asked my friends for help, I started understanding it better but what I needed was more practice.
     Finally, it was almost time to take the quiz and I still didn't completely understand the subject, so I took the first quiz and got a 20 percent, which was a total fail. Then, their was no other option than to ask my teacher, he was able to explain it to me and I was able to understand it.

     What is another name for square roots, and why is it named like that? Another name for square roots, is to the power of. That means if you have a number and then there is a smaller number on top of it, you have to multiply that number by itself however many times is on top of the number. 
     Square roots, is actually the opposite of "to the power of". This is just like how multiplication is the opposite of division. The square roots are going back like division, because you have to find out how many times you multiplied a number in order to get the number that is on the other side. "To the power of" is like multiplication, here you have to multiply the number by itself how ever many times it says. For example, say there was a five with a three on top of it. You would have to multiply 

     Positive number, not equal to zero, raised to a negative power is actually less than one - but not negative. (5^-2 equal 1/25 for example).  A positive number isn't equal to zero when its raised to a negative power is actually less than one, but not negative. The reason why this is, is because the negative is like to the second power and it doesn't make sense for it to be like that the symbols make a different equation. The symbols switched around make a whole different equation which means if you don't have the right equation then you can't solve the answer.
     When it's raised to another power it makes the negative number a lower number, because negative times a positive is a negative. Then you get a higher number but with a negative sign which actually means you have a loawer number, because you are deeper into the negatives. The little changes

     How can exponents be used in the real world? Exponents are a set of numbers that go on a nujmber line. The way we can use these in the real world is mostly in battle or war, or a way to locate somone that is lost. The way exponents are used are by using a grid or a table. Just like if you wanted to locate someone. If they were in the woods or somewhere where they would be hard to find, the power of exponents would help.
     First of all, they would either need to have a tracker, or either have to know where they are located exactly. Then, say they tell you a pair of numbers, the exponents, then it's your job to look at the woods which have their set of numbers. This, is just like the game battleship. You use exponents to locate down the ship or ships of the opponing team. .

     In the game below, there is many levels and different ways to play. The way we had to play was the third level. The rules were that you had to plug in what the difference was. You had to do that all the way in to the middle. 
     What got me confused was the integers. I thought that we would have to subtract what was in the middle from left to right or from top to bottom. After, figuring out that you could do the biggest number minus the smaller one I figured out more of how the game was played. Since the integers were kind of tricky then it took me a while to finish that level. The decimals and the money were pretty easy. All you had to do was subtract the bigger number from the smaller number. Since, money is decimals it was basically the same thing.
