1-4, 1-6 Solving Absolute Value Equations and Inequalities Absolute value: distance from zero on a number line. Since distance in a nonnegative, the absolute value of a number is always positive. The symbol lxi is used to represent the absolute value of a number x. I units 4 units I I I I 1 I 3 4 5 Solving Absolute Value Equations: For any real numbers a and b, where b ~! 0, if Jal = then a = b or ?a = b. The second case is often written as a = ?b. Steps 1. Isolate the Absolute Value expression 2. Rewrite equation without the I I symbols. a. One with positive answer b. One with negative answer Ex 1: Jx-51=7 x-c3- ?t-3 k'3 + 3.

Point-slope refers to a method for graphing a linear equation on an x-y axis. When graphing a linear equation, the whole idea is to take pairs of x's and y's and plot them on the graph. While you could plot several points by just plugging in values of x, the point-slope form makes the whole process simpler. Point-slope form is also used to take a graph and find the equation of that particular line. Point slope form gets its name because it uses a single point on the graph and the slope of the line. Think about it this way: You have a starting point on a map, and you are given a direction to point. You have all the information you need to draw a single line on the map. The standard point-slope equation looks like this:

Every straight line can be represented by an equation: y = mx + b. The coordinates of every point on the line will solve the equation if you substitute them in the equation for x and y. The slope m of this line - its steepness, or slant - can be calculated like this: m = change in y-value change in x value Help from math.com

Common exercises will give you some pieces of information about a line, and you will have to come up with the equation of the line. How do you do that? You plug in whatever they give you, and solve for whatever you need, like this: Find the equation of the straight line that has slope m = 4 and passes through the point (?1, ?6). Okay, they've given me the value of the slope; in this case, m = 4. Also, in giving me a point on the line, they have given me an x-value and a y-value for this line: x = ?1 and y = ?6.
