1.1: During my high school career I have taken Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. During my freshman year I took Algebra I and I enjoyed it. I had my friend Jordan who really helped me along whenever I was stuck as I did him. Last year, in my sophomore year, I took Geometry and I absolutely loved every minute of it. Geometry was so much fun, it just clicked. It was easy, and fun, and I just really had a good time. I loved my teacher and how she explained things, I couldn't tell you how she explain it, it just sounded so natural and made so much sense. I am now in the beginning of my junior year and Algebra II and I'm a little nervous that I'm not going to get it as well as I got Geometry, but I'm just trying to keep a positive mind and tell myself that it's going to be just like Algebra I. I like to see things visually, which is why I think that I liked Geometry so much, so having things on a piece of paper, right in front of me and I like being able to write whatever notes I want, wherever I want them and where they make sense to me. I like taking notes and I like not so much learning right out of a book, but I like to learn from a person, not a computer. I like to have a big binder, full of paper that are covered to the brim with the work I did that day broken down, by me, step by step with whatever notes I found useful that day because chances are, they're going to be just as useful when I need them again. After this year, I just want to keep doing good in school and I don't really have any plans, I just want to take everything seriously and examine all my options.

1.2: The second problem is the problem that has been worked out step by step. In step seven, the variables have been plugged into the equation. Step eight, sixty has been multiplied by 1/2 on the left side of the equation and 3/5 on the right side of the equation. In step nine, four has been added to thirty on the left side of the equation and two has been subtracted from thirty-six on the right side of the equation to leave you with the final answer of 34 = 34.

1.3: After doing math in school as well as at home I found that i don't have any problems doing any of equations re-introduced to me. I don't have any problems doing this math.

1.4: Linear Function -A polynomial equation of the first degree. Relation - A mapping or pointing of input with output values. Domain - The set of input values. Range - The set of output values. Increasing - An increasing slope or line on a graph is a slope that is positive and keeps going upward and to the right of the first quadrant. Decreasing - A decreasing slope or line on a graph is a slope that is positive and keeps going downward and to the left of the third quadrant Slope - The slope is the rise over the run, or in other words how many units the line is going up or down and to the right or left. Intercept - An intercept is the coordinate of which intercepts, or crosses, the x or y axis. Degree -The highest power of a term or variable.

1.6: Graph A: Equation # 8 goes with graph A. I know this is true because both graph A and equation 8 have a y-intercept of -4 and a slope of -1/3. Graph B: Equation # 2 goes with graph B. I know this is true because both graph B and equation 2 have a y-intercept of 4 and a slope of 2/1. Graph C: Equation # 6 goes with graph C. I know this is true because both graph C and equation 6 have a y-intercept of -4 and a slope of -1/2. Graph D: Equation # 7 goes with graph D. I know this is true because both graph D and equation 7 have a y-intercept of 4 and a slope of 1/3.

1.7 The way I went about this is, first I changed all of the standard form equations into y-intercept form. From there, I matched all of the equations with their double. After I matched all of the equations, I then went on to the graphs and automatically looked at the y-intercepts of the graph. Knowing the y-intercepts of each graph eliminated some equations that couldn't be the equation to that graph and from there I could look at the slope and then match the graph with the only equation left. As for the order in which I found the matches, I just went down the line and changed the standard form equations to y-intercept form then matched them and with the graphs, I did the same thing and just went down the line and eliminated the equations that couldn't possibly be the match and matched the graph with the only equation left.
