As you know, tomorrow is the end of the quarter... Overall, it was a good quarter - there are a lot of very good grades :) Some of you, though, are probably a little disappointed because you're SOOOOOOO close to the next letter grade. Well, here's your final opportunity to give your grade that little boost it may need.
This will only apply to a small percentage of you... Check your class grade in IC.
Periods 1, 3, and 4: unless you have any absent work that you're turning in tomorrow, the posted grades are up-t0-date.
Periods 5 and 6: I am collecting your homework tomorrow and will need to input those scores. Other than that, your grades are up-to-date.
If your grade is within 1% of the next letter grade (so if you have 89.00 - 89.99%, 79.00-79.99%, etc.), then this opportunity is for you. Periods 5 and 6 - if you think your grade might be within one of these ranges after I input your Bellwork tomorrow, then this is for you.
Here's your assignment... Look at problem #42 on page 347... Read it, think about it, draw the graph for it (the graph isn't part of the answer but will probably help you answer it), and think about it some more. Post your explanation (try to not make it too wordy, but make sure it's thorough) along with your name and period. If you are correct and your explanation makes sense, I will bump your grade up to the next letter grade :)
Remember - this opportunity only applies to those of you who are within 1% of the next letter grade.
This is due by 2:00 tomorrow - Friday, March 16. Good luck! (I will not be posting any of your comments until after 2:00 tomorrow...)

I'm not posting your responses - just the answer...
Terry and Chris were both correct.
Terry plotted points 2 up and 2 to the right. That would be +2/+3, which is a slope of 2/3.
Chris plotted points 2 down and 2 to the left. That would be -2/-3. A negative divided by a negative is a positive, so that slop would also be 2/3.
