Please respond to the following question (to be posted before or on Monday, Day 7; 10am NY- Time!).

1. Write a Summary

What are three important things you learned this week from the materials? (Using linear equations, solving linear equations, equations using formulas, using linear equations & inequalities in real-world applications and solving linear inequalities)

Show how what you learned is applicable or relevant to your job? Give examples.(Trucking Job-Bookkeeper)

2.       Imagine that a line on a Cartesian graph is approximately the distance y in feet a person walks in x hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful? Provide another example for your colleagues to explain

3.          What is the difference between a scatterplot and a line graph? Provide an example of each. Does one seem better than the other? In what ways is it better?

4.          If a line has no y-intercept, what can you say about the line? What if a line has no x-intercept? Think of a real-life situation where a graph would have no x- or y-intercept. Will what you say about the line always be true in that situation?
