Math 9B


June 4th-5th, 2025:

Today we did an extension of last week's lesson and learned how to write an equation directly from a graph. It is the exact opposite of what we did on Monday and Tuesday. See the Video lesson and practice below:

Video Lesson: Writing an Equation from a Graph
Practice Assignment (Match each graph on Page 2 and 3 with the equations listed on page 4)

June 2nd-3rd, 2025:

Today in class we had a lesson on how to graph linear equations using some shortcuts. If our equation is in y=mx+b format, we can pull some useful information from the equation to graph it directly without having to make a table of values. Watch the video lesson below and check out the practice work:
