  1. Warm Up • Using the following table and y = mx + b; • 1) What is the y? • 2) What is the b?

  2. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • It is constant (it is going to be a number and stay that number) Answer: m or b

  3. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • Stays “x” when writing an equation. • Answer x

  4. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • Dependent Variable • Answer: y

  5. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • Is in the second column of a table. • Answer: y

  6. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • Pattern of change! • Answer: m

  7. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • INPUT • Answer: x

  8. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • Rise over Run • Answer: m

  9. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • It stays “y” when writing an equation. • Answer: y

  10. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • Independent Variable • Answer: x

  11. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • y – intercept (Where the graph crosses the y – axis.) • Answer: b

  12. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • SLOPE • Answer: m

  13. Using : y = mx + b • What does this describe? • First column in a table. • Answer: x
