Writing Equations from Tables and Graphs

Mrs. Huntley presents Lesson 4 from the functions packet, focusing on writing equations from tables and graphs. The lesson revisits concepts like slope and y-intercept, providing methods to calculate them. Real-world examples, such as movie expenses and baking recipes, are used to illustrate these concepts. Students are encouraged to practice and seek help if needed, as these are essential skills for high school algebra.

What is the essential question for this lesson?

• What is the Pythagorean theorem?

• How do I write an equation from a table or graph?

• How do I solve quadratic equations?

• How do I find the area of a circle?
