Notes:
change in y/change in x = ∆y/∆x = rise/run = slope = m
Linear v. Non-Linear: An equation can be identified as linear if the equation can be written as y = mx + b. If there is an exponent on a variable (x², x³, etc.) The equation is not linear. Linear equations look like a line if you graph them. Non-linear equations have curves in their graphs.Advanced math notation: "∆" stands for "the change in." When talking about out Frankenstein tables we use ∆x and ∆y.
∆y represents the change in y from position to position in the pattern. ∆x is change in x from position to position (many times 1).
