AFTER MUCH THOUGHT AND READING OVER YOUR PETITION.........I HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE PROJECT DEADLINE UNTIL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2010!!! (Pass this news along to everybody...post it as your status on Facebook or something, lol)
Also, I have listed a few helpful hints...
Here are the steps to creating your equations for the project:
Step #1: Complete Yearly Budget (this will be the same for both jobs)
Step #2: Gather Job #1 Info
-How much do you make an hour?
-How many hours do you work per week?
-Example: $7.50 per hour *30 hours per week = $225 per week
Step #3: How much do you make per year (yearly salary)
-Example: $225 * 50 weeks = $11,250 per year
-For job #2, these steps will already be done for you because you know the yearly salary from your research
Step #4: Create Equation
Y=mx+b
M=yearly salary-yearly budget
B= debt/savings (debt will be a negative amount, savings will be a positive amount)
-Example: yearly budget = $60,360
M= $11,250 - $60,360 = -$49,110
Final Equation: y = -49,110x + 7,000
Here are the steps for adding the graphs to your PowerPoint:
Step #1: Create a new slide
Step #2: Change the layout to “Content with Caption”
Step #3: Click on the icon for “Insert Chart”
Step #4: Choose the Line Graphs “Line with Markers” (an Excel spreadsheet will pop up)
Step #5: Clear all default information
Step #6: Column A will be “x (years worked)”; Column B will be “y (total $ earned)”
Step #7: Choose x-values 0, 1, 2, 3,… & complete input-output table to find y-values (plug x value into equation to get y-value); the graph will create itself
Step #8: Copy and Paste table into slide
Step #9: Repeat Steps for Job #2 and comparison of the 2 graphs
Step #10: When will you be able to pay off the house?
-Set equation equal to the price of the house; solve for x. This will tell you how many years it will take until you have paid off your house based on your yearly salary.
*If you get stuck, refer to the sample PowerPoint*
You can also do your graphs by hand in Paint (let me know if you need specific steps for that)
PRAISE GOD HALLELLUEIJAH AND I DID POST IT AS MY STATUS ON FACEBOOK -DA KIDD DAT DONT WRITE DER FIRST NAME HAHAHHAAHAHHAHA THANK U IMMA BRING U SOMETHIN FOR DIS

ReplyDeleteFor the hard workers that are almost finished, this gives you more time to make your projects even better...go back and see if there is anything that you want to add to take it up a notch.
For the slackers who decided to procrastinate (I say that with love, lol)...GET TO WORK!!! This is an "all or nothing deal"...if you don't have it done by Wednesday, don't even bother trying to turn it in Thursday!

Taylor Morawski.
You all don't owe me anything except an A+ project!
ReplyDeleteOh yes ma'am that's what you'll get. :)
ReplyDelete- taylor.
When calculating how quickly I will pay off my house, do I need to include a y-intercept?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ben Raposa 4th hour
you just need to take your general equation and set it equal to the price of the house; solve for x
ReplyDeleteyou are my favorite teacher!!! :)
ReplyDeleteim still lost!!!! itz not that i wuz procrastinating or anything, itz just that ive had hardly any time 2 work on it. we only had a limited time 2 work on it in class, and i had no computer last week. itll be a miracle if i get it done. but ima try my best. if i cant get it done then ill just have 2 cry myself 2 sleep.
ReplyDeleteYou could have come during your lunch period or after school like other people did...but what exactly are you stuck on? If you can give me some specific questions, I can try my best to clear up any confusion.
ReplyDeleteFor the Y intercept (B) in our equation, is it debt divided by savings or is it a choice between debt and savings?
ReplyDelete-Molly
I decided for everyone to be on the same page with this part, so choose debt. Your debt should be between $5,000 and $10,000 (which would make your "b" value negative).
ReplyDeleteDo we have to dress up for our presentations??? And are we presenting tmorrow
ReplyDelete-Molly
That would've been a good idea, but you don't have to dress up (you can if you want). And yes, you will be presenting tomorrow.
