Hello Class! First I would like to welcome you to High School Algebra. Before we get started with learning about all the fun topics in algebra this year, I first wanted to see what you guys already know.
So for your first assignment I would like you to pick ONE topic (such as solving equations, solving inequalities, functions, etc.) that either interests and/or challenges you in algebra. After you chose a topic, I would like you to do a little research. This is why I have made this message board so everyone can post on it!
Post should include:
1. Topic of choice (Algebra related)
2.  Explain/teach us what you know or have learned about your topic of choice (2+ sentences).
3. Cite your source(s)
4. Please include any additional comments or questions you may have about this topic or any other topics other classmate have posted about as well (1+ sentences).

I will post a few links below that will help you with your search. Of course you are more then welcome to use other sources on the internet just please post the link you got your information from!

The point-slope form is very useful in later topics of math, so it is extrememly important to get a good understanding of the point-slope form and how to use it.  As seen in the Khan academy video on point-slope form (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=360&v=K_OI9LA54AA), using the point-slope form, you can find the equation of a line by knowing two points on a line.  Using the point-slope form you can then put the equation into the more familiar slope-intercept form.  This will come up later when trying to find average rate of change of a nonlinear function.
