    Hi Kate, your words at the end of this video made me realize why I haven't retained so much of the work despite my diligent video watching and taking notes. You said, practice is where the learning happens and I think I have been confusing learning for practicing and getting them mixed up.
    I will " study" by taking notes from these videos and thought for the most part that was enough, it wasn't until now I realized that practicing and learning are two different things in my case,when you said learning takes place during the practice, I knew I've been doing so much wrong....thank you for being so thorough in your teaching ❤️👑👑

      Don't beat yourself up. You've been working very hard and watching vids and taking notes IS important. Now that you're adding practice to that equation, I can't wait to see how much more quickly you'll learn! Super proud of you, Jennifer!

    A great way to remember horizontal is horizon 🌅 when you look at the x- axis you should think of the sun setting. ------☀️------

    Hi Kate I’ve been struggling with math for as early as my childhood I’ve been trying to get my ged since 2016 but math has always stopped me algebra was like learning a second language to me but for the last 2 or 3 months I’ve been watching your videos and omg you’ve actually helped me so much without even knowing I passed every test on my own without help self teaching myself but with ur help as of 07/15/2021 I felt confident enough to take the test and I didn’t pass lol but I got a 142 which I never thought was going to be possible but I promise I owe it to u and all your algebra videos I scheduled my retest for a few weeks out do u have any worksheets on slopes all of them lol that would be helpful thanks again

      Woohoo! I love to hear about this progress, Hope, and about your continued determination. I haven't met a student yet who, if they kept working at it, couldn't pass their GED test. Here is the unit from my website, the GED Math Crash Course, on slope/functions/and lines. I suggest you go through it lesson by lesson, practicing each concept thoroughly if you want to remember it come test time. Because equations of lines aren't intuitive for many students, it is easy to forget what you have learned if you don't get enough practice. Happy learning! www.lightandsaltlearning.org/2-slope-lines

    Slope Man. That's totally cool. I GRASPED the concept. Thanks Kate

    For the example at 30:48 Couldn't you just start on the -2 in bottom left quadrant, then rise 2 and run 5?

  • @BigcatTVGaming
    @BigcatTVGaming 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    29:00 would it be acceptable to write -1.25 instead of -5/4?

    • @LightandSaltLearning
      @LightandSaltLearning  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, absolutely. They are totally equivalent. Fractions are used more often than decimals in pure algebra, but both are totally acceptable.

  • @wolfy1
    @wolfy1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hmm wouldn't these planes be infinite in all directions so you could just make your plane larger if the point doesn't fit on the one you have drawn? Couldn't you also use the negative on either number? I get so confused with negatives. I'm referring to the last example on that where you graphed a -4 then said you had to graph a positive 7 because the negative was already used. Could it be the other way? A -7 and positive 4? Would it be the same line??

    • @LightandSaltLearning
      @LightandSaltLearning  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, absolutely on both points. The plane is infinite and we can look at any piece of it. We don't have to center the origin, (0,0), though we frequently do. And yes, a -4/7 slope will result in the exact same line as a 4/-7 slope. This trick is often useful for when the line you are drawing seems to go off of the portion of the plane you have on your graph. Instead of moving down four and right seven, you could go up four and left seven. Does that make sense?

    Hi so I understand how to get slope from Two points , plotting slope from two points on a graph & determining slope intercept equation on a graph...
    but I do not understand point slope form & quadratic equation any vids on that? & the slope questions on the actual ged can vary right? I know you’ve said it’s quite important on the ged & it’s quite frustrating not knowing which form will show up because if point slope or the quadratic shows up I’m done. Thx for your help I’ve learned a lot from your vids & I’ve been using khan academy to practice slope

    • @LightandSaltLearning
      @LightandSaltLearning  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      So, yes, slope shows up quite a bit. But I have great news. You do not need to master either the point slope equation or the quadratic equation to pass the test. The point slope equation is one of two ways you can accomplish the same thing (write the equation of a line when given a point and the slope or when given two points). It is not the method I use. I prefer to use the other formula, slope-intercept, so that we stay consistant and cut down on confusion. You will see that demonstarted over and over again in my videos as you work through the Slope & Lines Unit of the Crash Course. And, if you use the Crash Course, my website, for practice instead of Khan, you will see a lot of GED specific problems. www.lightandsaltlearning.org/2-slope-lines/

    Can you do problems for the first half of the test where we cant use calculators. Like
    Two points are plotted on a number line: −11.2 and 3.3. What is the distance between these two points?
    A.) 7.9
    B.) -7.9
    C.) 14.5
    D.) -14.5

    • @tiasimmons5619
      @tiasimmons5619 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did -11.2-3.3= -14.5
      I used a calculator so it doesnt count

      Tia Simmons Oooo, good one! I have some videos on those already. Look in the "No calculator" play list.

      I've got four full length classes on slope, it's such a popular concept on the GED. Here's the lesson page from the Crash Course on using the slope formula. There's a full length class at the top, links to leveled practice assignments with answers, and tons of GED style example problem videos at the bottom.
