Rho Fs

PLEASE let me know if you ever find out her name.

I'll do your ember logo tomorrow if you remind me, I'm avoiding my homework with forgehub and putting it off for last minute and such. What would you like it to look like?

I wonder the same thing xD

Her pic was posted in the "Super Cute Females. NOT." group discussion thread.

She gorgeous, eh? :)

Once again thanks for putting the video on YouTube. It's nice...and funny to see what people say. I think I might have another but it's been awhile and I need to check.

Ok, lemme find the site I got it from, here's a link... Lemme know if this isn't it for some odd reason... Font Install - Kiefer Sutherland 24

I believe I used a font called BankGothic Md Bt

File Swap - Download hecticlogo.psd
Tell me if it works or not.

Yeah, Have you used it in a montage? I'm uploading the PSD right now. It might be a while unfortunately, internets been unbearably slow today....

By the way...enjoy math while it still uses numbers.

Look, this whole thing stems from your failure to put parentheses in your slope formula. If you did not put the parentheses because you're lazy, I understand. Believe me, I'm lazy too. However, I don't really see why you wouldn't just press 4 more buttons to change your formula from incorrect to correct.

And if you're lying to me and you really FORGOT that not including parentheses would make the formula incorrect, that's fine with me. We're all human and we make mistakes. But I'm saying, this whole thing could have been avoided if you had put 4 stupid parentheses in your formula. :P

See ya.

I know that, but at the time I didn't know your intention was to to "remind" him of the slope formula rather than to provide the correct formula. But if he didn't know anything about slope and was following the correct order of operations, he would have thought the slope formula was m=y2-(y1/x2)-x1.

I see what you're saying, but he wasn't even sure if the line passing through (0,0) and (2,6) was y=3x. I don't think "reminding him" was the approach you should have taken because he seemed, at least to me, to be entirely unfamiliar with the topic.

Parentheses WERE necessary for my example. I said that " If I tell you the answer is 1+2/3, how would you know whether I mean 1 + (2/3) = (5/3) or (1 + 2) / 3 = 1 ?"

Here's what happened: You told the guy that the slope formula was y2-y1/x2-x1 when you meant to say (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). I gave that example to show numerically that if I didn't include parentheses but actually meant to include them, the two expressions are not equal.

Look, I'm just saying that math is very precise. Parentheses make an enormous different and are a very big deal in math. If you know the order of operations and were well aware that excluding parentheses made the slope formula you provided ENTIRELY incorrect, you should have never offered to help in the first place.

Only for smaller stuff? What does that mean? Order of operations applies for everything, no matter how big or small. And my example was only proving to you that parentheses certainly make a big difference. I was only using your logic by not using parentheses...

Also, how are parentheses in my example irrelevant? I even showed you how they would cause two different answers. I don't know how I can be any clearer than that...

No, it CANNOT make it negative. Ever. If you put y1 and x1 first you'll get the same result as if you were to use y2 and x2 first. They yield the same exact result, ALWAYS. The 1's and 2's are only there to show that the x- and y-values must match up in the numerator and the denominator. I have no idea why students are taught that y2 comes first. Besides, it makes no sense. If I'm told a line passes through (1,0) and (2,3), how do I know which is point 1 and which is point 2? Whichever point is listed first is point 1? Does that mean a line that passes through (1,0) and (2,3) has a different slope than a line that passes through (2,3) and (1,0)? It absolutely does not.

No, we weren't taught the slope formula differently. I learned it as y2-y1, because (as I've said already) that's how it's taught in schools for some reason. But I accused your slope formula of being wrong (which it was) and you responded by saying mine was wrong (which it wasn't). That's all I'm saying.

If you're going to post in a math help thread, you shouldn't let your laziness make the help that you give wrong. If he's unfamiliar with lines, you should assume he's going to copy what you say directly and use it. If I tell you the answer is 1+2/3, how would you know whether I mean 1 + (2/3) = (5/3) or (1 + 2) / 3 = 1 ?

And no, you're just plain wrong about the slope formula thing. I don't know why people are taught that it's y2-y1, because it can be either way. You're not doing the math correctly; it doesn't randomly make the slope negative...

You can easily check to see that I'm right. I think you're just assuming that it somehow makes the slope negative.

No, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. First of all, the fact that your formula for slope had no parentheses makes it completely wrong. You can't argue that parentheses are insignificant because they really do change the math.

Also, why can't slope be m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)? What I said and what you said are equivalent expressions for the slope formula.

lol, your slope formula wasn't even correct.
