This document contains the agenda for a math class. It includes announcements about an upcoming exam covering chapters 1.1 through 2.4, skipping 2.5. It also mentions project 1 and reviewing questions from homework. The rest of the document discusses slopes and linear equations, including finding the slope between two points, writing equations in slope-intercept form, using point-slope form, identifying parallel and perpendicular lines, and using linear models to predict unknown data based on a line of best fit. Homework assignments include problems from pages 97 and 108 of the textbook.

1. Today’s Agenda

And have an equation of….

4. Slopes…continued
Find the slope of the
line through the points
(-3, 2) and (-3, 6)
So, vertical lines have a slope of….
And have an equation of….

5. Slopes…continued

10. Point-Slope Form (p. 94)
To find an equation of a line when you
have a point, and a slope

11. Point-Slope Form
Find the equation of the line with slope -3
through the point (-4, 1)

13. Forms of Linear Equations (p. 95)

14. 2.3 Linear Modeling
General Idea / Steps
• Plot data onto a graph (scatterplot)
• Create “line of best fit” (linear model)
• Find equation of linear model
• Use to predict new or unknown
data

15. Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Profit 15.0 16.6 16.4 20.8 22.2
The profits of the General Electric Company (GE), in billions of
dollars, over a five-year period are shown in the following table.
Let x = 3 correspond to 2003. Plot the data.

16. Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Profit 15.0 16.6 16.4 20.8 22.2
What would you expect
the profit to be in 2010?
Remember, the x-value corresponds to the year. And
the y-value corresponds to the profit.

17. Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Profit 15.0 16.6 16.4 20.8 22.2
When would you expect
the profit to exceed $50 billion?
Remember, the x-value corresponds to the year. And
the y-value corresponds to the profit.
