  1. Expressions, Rules, and Graphing Linear Equationsby Lauren McCluskey • This power point could not have been made without Monica Yuskaitis, whose power point, “Algebra I” formed much of the introduction.

  2. Variable: • Variable – A variable is a letter or symbol that represents a number (unknown quantity or quantities). • A variable may be any letter in the alphabet. • 8 + n = 12 “Algebra I” by M. Yuskaitis

  3. Algebraic Expression: • Algebraic expression – a group of numbers, symbols, and variables that express an operation or a series of operations with no equal or inequality sign. • There is no way to know what quantity or quantities these variables represent. • m +8 • r –3 “Algebra I” by M. Yuskaitis

  4. Simplify • Simplify – Combine like terms and complete all operations m = 2 • m + 8 + m 2 m + 8 • 3x + (-15) -2x + 5 x -10 “Algebra I” by M. Yuskaitis

  5. Evaluate • Evaluate an algebraic expression – To find the value of an algebraic expression by substituting numbers for variables. • m + 8 m = 2 2 + 8 = 10 • r – 3 r = 5 5 – 3 = 2 “Algebra I” by M. Yuskaitis

  6. Translating Words to Algebraic Expressions • Sum Difference • More than Less than • Plus Minus • Increased Decreased • Altogether “Algebra I” by M. Yuskaitis

  7. Translate these Phrases to Algebraic Expressions n + 10 • Ten more than a number • A number decrease by 4 • 6 less than a number • A number increased by 8 • The sum of a number & 9 • 4 more than a number n - 4 x - 6 n + 8 n + 9 y + 4 “Algebra I” by M. Yuskaitis

  8. Each of these Algebraic Expressions might represent Patterns: • For example: n + 10

  9. Or it might be Geometric (n-4): n=1 13 seats n=2 8 seats

  10. Patterns Patterns may be seen in: • Geometric Figures • Numbers in Tables • Numbers in Real-life Situations • Sequences of Numbers • Linear Graphs Patterns are predictable.

  11. Patterns with Geometric Figures (Triangles) • Jian made some designs using equilateral triangles. He noticed that as he added new triangles, there was a relationship between n, the number of triangles, and p, the outer perimeter of the design. Write a rule for this pattern. P= 4 P=6 P=3 P=5 from the MCAS

  12. How to Write a Rule: 1) Make a table. 2) Find the constant difference. 3) Multiply the constant difference by the term number (x). 4) Add or subtract some number in order to get y.

  13. P = 6 P = 4 P = 3 P = 5 1 ) Make a Table: Let x be the position in the pattern while y is the total perimeter. # of Triangles Rule: Perimeter (x) (y)1 ? 3 2 4 3 5 ... …xy from the MCAS

  14. P = 6 P = 4 2)Find the Constant Difference: How did the output change? P = 3 P = 5 Perimeter (y) 3 4 5 6 … p from the MCAS

  15. P = 6 P = 4 3) Multiply by the Input # (x). 4) Then Add or Subtract some # to get the Output # (y). P = 3 P = 5 # of Triangles Rule: Perimeter (x) (y)1 1x +2 3 2 1x +2 4 3 1x +2 5 ... …xy It Works! from the MCAS

  16. Patterns in Numbers in Tables: • Write a rule for the table below. from the MCAS

  17. 2) Look for the Constant Difference. • What is the change when the input # • increases by 1? • From the 10th tothe 11th the output #s • increase from 21 to 23. So the constant difference is +2.

  18. 3) Multiply x by the Constant Difference. Then… 4) Add or Subtract some #. 2 +1 x Constant Difference Constant Input #

  19. Patterns in Numbers in Real-Life Situations: Write a rule for x number of rides: from the MCAS

  20. 1) Make a Table: 12 14 16

  21. 2) Find the Constant Difference. +$2 +$2 +$2… So the Constant Difference is +2.

  22. 3) Multiply x by the Constant Difference.Then…4) Add or Subtract some #. x +10 2 Constant Difference Constant Input #

  23. Patterns in Sequences of Numbers 12, 16, 20, 24… What’s my rule? Remember: 1) Make a Table. 2) Find the Constant Difference. 3) Multiply x by the Constant Difference. 4) Add or Subtract some #.

  24. 1) Make a Table: +4 +4 2) Find the Constant Difference. The Constant Difference is +4.

  25. 3) Multiply x by the Constant Difference. Then…4) Add or Subtract some #. x +8 4 Constant Difference Constant Input #

  26. Patterns in Linear Graphs “Linear” means it makes a straight line. • Remember: • Make a Table. • Find the Constant Difference. • Multiply x by the Constant Difference. • Add or Subtract some #.

  27. To Make a Table from a Graph: +2 +2 Find the Constant Difference.

  28. 3) Multiply x by the Constant Difference. Then…4) Add or Subtract some #. x -1 2 Constant Difference Input Constant

  29. How to find the 10th or 100th term: • Now that we have a rule we can find any term we want by evaluating for that term #. • Just substitute the term number for x, then simplify.

  30. What would ‘y’ be if x = 10? The rule for the last graph was: 2x -1 Substitute 10 for x and we get: (2)(10) – 1 or 20 -1 = 19. So (10, 19) are solutions for this rule, AND (10, 19) would be a point on this line!

  31. What would ‘y’ be if x = 100? 2x – 1 was the rule for the graph. Substitute 100 for x: (2)(100) – 1 or 200 -1 = 199 So (100, 199) would be a solution for this rule, AND (100, 199) would be on this line!

  32. Review So here we have come full circle, we have: • Written algebraic expressions; • Evaluated these expressions; • Written expressions (rules) for patterns; • Evaluated these rules for specific terms.

  33. Graphing Linear Patterns There are 3 forms of equations that can be graphed: 1) Slope-intercept form 2) Standard form 3) Point-slope form

  34. Slope-Intercept Form (Slope) • The “slope” of a line is the measure of its steepness. Or: Rise over Run

  35. Y-Intercept: • The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. • Hint: Think of the word, ‘intersection’, where 2 streets cross, in order to remember ‘intercept’. -1

  36. Finding the Slope on a Graph: The slope of the line is rise run. Or: the change in y the change in x. Change in y = 22 Change in x = 1 1 So the slope is +2. =

  37. Kinds of Slopes: • Slopes may be positive (y increases as x increases); • Slopes may be negative (y decreases as x increases); • Slopes may be zero (y doesn’t change at all); • Or Slopes may be undefined (x doesn’t change at all).

  38. Name the Type of Slope:

  39. Slope-Intercept Form: You can see both the slope and the y-intercept on the graph: 2 x -1

  40. Standard Form: • It’s easy to find the x- and y-intercept with the standard form (Ax + By = C). • All you need to do is substitute “0” for x and solve for y; then substitute “0” for y and solve for x. Try it:

  41. Write y = 2x -1 in standard form: y = 2x - 1 -2x -2x y - 2x = -1 y - (2) (0) = -1 y = -1 So the y-intercept is -1. 0 - (2) x = -1 -2 -2 x = 1/2 So the x-intercept is 0.5.

  42. Point-Slope Form: The point slope form (y - y1) = m(x - x1) is easiest to use if you are given one point and the slope of the line. Just substitute the coordinates into the equation. Then rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

  43. Point-Slope Form • Suppose you did not have the graph, • but you were told that the point (2, 3) is on • the line and the slope is +2… • You could write the equation: y - 3 = 2(x - 2), • then rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

  44. Point-Slope Form: You could rewrite y - 3 = 2(x - 2) to the slope-intercept form: y - 3 = 2(x - 2) y - 3= 2x - 4 +3 +3 y = 2x -1

  45. Slopes of Parallel Lines: Two lines on the same plane that have the same slope will be parallel. Slope is 0. Slope is undefined.

  46. Slopes of Perpendicular Lines: Note: Perpendicular lines form right angles at their intersection. Two lines whose slopes are negative reciprocals are perpendicular. The product of their slopes will equal -1.

  47. Are they Parallel or Perpendicular? y = 2x + 10 y = 2x -5 y = -3x + 2 y = 1/3x + 1
