     Today, I am going to be talking about pi.  Now, not the kind of pie you eat, but the mathematical term pi.  What do you know about pi?  What does it mean?  Why is it special?  These are all questions that you will no longer need to ask because I am going to answer them right now.
     As you all know, pi stands for 3.14.  Now, we all know that pi is a never ending decimal, so we just round it off to 3.14.  Many terms in math use pi.  Pi is special because pi is an irrational number and is the circumference of the unit circle.  Well, that is all for today so I hoe that I helped you better understand pi.

 
     Last week, I explained the y=mx+b formula and how it comes in handy.  Well, this week, I am going to explain the steps to graphing a line in the y=mx+b form.  Let's use the equation y=2x+7.  In order to graph this line, you would need to use the steps in graphing equations in this form.
     Now, the first thing you do when you have an equation in this form is look at the number in the b spot.  That number is the y-intercept on the graph.  Next, you would look at the m spot and that number represents the slope.  So, in this problem, you would go up 2 spaces, and over 1 space since 2/1 is the same as 2.  Now, you can plug in any of the points on the line that you just graphed.  Plug in the x and the y in their spots in the equation and that'll prove your line correct or incorrect.  Well that's all for today, so see ya later!
