Intermediate Algebra
Linear Equations in 2 Variables

Homework:

Compare and contrast parallel lines and perpendicular lines.

Assignments:
  • Do now
  • Focus Questions
  • Notes
  • Practice Problems
Today's Do Now:

1. Use the intercepts of the equation 2x + y = 8 to graph the line.
2. Find the slope of the line containing the points
(-1, 12) and (5, -6)

Today's Focus Questions:

1. Compare and contrast slope – intercept form and the point – slope form.
2. Which form mentioned in #1 do you prefer? Why?
3. Describe what information is required to use slope – intercept form. What information is required to use point – slope form?

Geometry
Midpoint & Angles

Homework:

• Bring a protractor
• Give 3 examples in the real world that involves angles.
• Define congruence

Assignments:
  • Do Now
  • Focus Questions
  • Notes (Midpoint Property)
  • Midpoint Exercise
  • Notes (Angles)
Today's Do Now:

1. Name each midpoint and the segment it bisects. (Image of triangle not here)
2. Draw two segments that have the same midpoint. Mark your drawing (tick marks) to show congruent segments.

Today's Focus Questions:

1. In your own words, describe a midpoint.
2. Which of the following: a line, a line segment, or a ray can have a midpoint? Why can’t the other two have midpoints?
3. What real word situation is important to know the measurement of angles? Why?
