Basic Linear Graphing Skills Practice Workbook: Plotting Points, Straight Lines, Slope, Y-intercept & More Chris Mcmullen

Publisher Marketing: WHAT TO EXPECT Learn basic coordinate algebra graphing skills with this practice workbook: basic graphing terminologyreading ("x," "y") coordinatessigns in Quadrants I-IVpractice plotting pointsfind the slope between two pointsfind the "y"-interceptthe equation for a straight linedraw straight lines given "m" and "b"challenge chapter builds applied skillsEXAMPLES Each section begins with a concise introduction to the main concepts followed by examples. These examples should serve as a useful guide until students are able to solve the problems independently. ANSWERS Answers to exercises are tabulated at the back of the book. This helps students develop confidence and ensures that students practice correct techniques, rather than practice making mistakes. PHOTOCOPIES The copyright notice permits parents/teachers who purchase one copy or borrow one copy from a library to make photocopies for their own children/students only. This is very convenient if you have multiple children/students or if a child/student needs additional practice. AUTHOR Chris McMullen earned his Ph.
