Linear Equations
1st degree- 0 turns
y=mx+b
When the slope of a line is positive, then the line rises to the right and falls to the left.
When the slope of a line is negative, the the line rises to the left and falls to the right.
Quadratic Equations
2nd degree- 1 turn
y=ax²
(a+b)(c+d)
When a parabolic graph is positive, then it rises right and left.
When a parabolic equation is negative then it falls both and left and right.
