Retrieve your results from the Math Lab: Bungee Jump Simulation that you completed in the Project Connection for Lesson 3.
In that Math Lab you conducted a bungee simulation using a fashion doll or action figure. You constructed a graph that showed the drop distance compared to the number of elastics bands used to create a bungee cord.
You then constructed a line of best fit and determined the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
Go to the Unit 3 Project and complete both Part A and Part B of the Module 5: Lesson 4 component of the project.

In wrestling, there are many ways of scoring points against your opponent. There are points associated with takedowns, escapes, reversals, near falls (when a wrestler almost pins an opponent to the mat), and penalty points.
Some high school wrestlers are successful because they have focused their training on specific manoeuvres in a few of these areas. As a wrestler progresses and encounters tougher competition at the collegiate and even Olympic levels, it is imperative that he or she becomes proficient in all areas in order to experience success.
In this lesson you have learned three ways of expressing a linear equation. There are other ways to write a linear equation. Find these other ways by performing an Internet search. You may want to type the keywords “ways to express a linear equation.” Show an example of each linear equation you find, and provide the information needed to be able to express a linear equation in that form.
Save your findings in your course folder.
