CHAPTER AT A GLANCE
Introduction to Linear Polynomials
•Unit: Algebra
•Board weightage: Algebra carries a large share of the paper; this chapter gives word problems on linear equations, patterns and linear relationships (please check the latest sample paper)
•Key ideas from the textbook: polynomial, degree, linear pattern, linear growth and decay, y = ax + b, slope and y-intercept, graph of a straight line
•Most scoring part: forming the equation in word problems and finding a and b from two readings
•Time to revise: about 45 minutes
