Slope Intercept Form and Finding the slope
Tutoring Algebra, slope and intercepts
We looked at slope intercept form and how m is the slope and b is the y- intercept. To get the y-intercept, you set x = 0 to get the x-intercept, you set y = 0 To get the slope, you use two points …

Parabola focus and directrix, p value, tutoring precalculus
We reviewed for the test. Started with parabolas. (h, k) stands for the vertex. The x coordinate being h and the y coordinate being k. In alphabetical order, just like x, y. The focus is a distance …

Power, current, resistance Substituting Ohm’s Law, Tutoring physics with electricity
Amps and current were first thought of with Ben Franklin, so the convention is of positive charge moving. Ohm's law is useful when it's applicable (which is likely throughout this class). V = …
Reviewing Some Ideas From Calculus I and leading up to it
Tutored calculus for a couple of hours the other day, just before the student started Calculus II. Here are some things we went over. We talked about the purpose of a derivative and how you can …
