In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Take a seat at the front of the class. Listen to your teacher and create a steady stream of notes. Ask questions and participate as often as you can. The information that you receive in class usually serves as the foundation for your homework, so make an effort to actively listen and learn. Avoid checking your phone, email, or social media during class. Try to find something interesting within the subjects that you might consider "boring." For example, if you dislike history but enjoy fashion, you might find the history of fashion and dress really exciting. Ask your teacher about it and see if you can use this interest in your homework. Write down everything your teacher says if they announce the assignment in class. If they give out a hand-out, read over it closely to see if there is anything that you are missing. If you sit down to work on the project and are unsure about something, reach out to your instructor or a classmate clarification. Give every piece of homework your best effort, even if you don't feel particularly confident in the final product. When in doubt, make an educated guess using the information that you do understand. Homework is, in part, about developing a skill set, so your instructor will most likely appreciate your attempt. This is a good practice to follow as it will help you on most tests as well. It is usually better to leave nothing blank on an exam, as your instructor may be able to award you partial credit for the attempt. As soon as you finish an assignment, set it aside for a few moments. Then, come back to it and look it over for any mistakes. You can also ask your friend, roommate, classmate, or parent to take a quick glance over the assignment as well. This is especially helpful with essays, as they may catch an error that you overlooked. Repeat aloud or in your head, "I can do this," if you get frustrated. Take a few deep breaths and then jump back into the assignment. Remind yourself that homework isn't intended to be easyit should challenge you. Think about your long-term goals and remember that all of your hard work will pay off in the end. No matter how stressed out you are, it is important that you turn in your own work. Don't ask your friends to give you the answers or to help you when they are not supposed to. If you do this, you may get caught, and you will definitely be less prepared for the quiz or test later. After a long day and night it is really easy to walk out the door and forget your homework on the table. To prevent this, as soon as you finish a piece of homework, put it in your backpack or bag. Then, take a quick glance inside your bag before heading out in the morning just to make sure everything is there. Have a designated area where you put projects that are "in progress" so you don't confuse them with homework that needs to be turned in.
Summary: Pay attention in class. Take note of the assignment details. Try to complete every assignment. Check your final work. Encourage yourself. Never cheat. Check that you have your finished homework.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To find the midpoint of two points, simply plug them into the midpoint formula: [(x1 + x2)/2,( y1 + y2)/2]. This means that you're just finding the average of the x and y coordinates of the two sets of points, which leads you to the midpoint of the two coordinates. Let's say we're working with the (x1, y1) coordinates of (2, 5) and the (x2, y2) coordinates of (8, 3). Here's how you find the midpoint for those two points: [(2+8)/2, (5 +3)/2] = (10/2, 8/2) = (5, 4) The coordinates of the midpoint of (2, 5) and (8, 3) are (5, 4). . To find the slope of the two points, simply plug the points into the slope formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). The slope of a line measures the distance of its vertical change over the distance of its horizontal change. Here's how to find the slope of the line that goes through the points (2, 5) and (8, 3): (3-5)/(8-2) = -2/6 = -1/3 The slope of the line is -1/3. To find this slope, you have to reduce 2/6 to its lowest terms, 1/3, since both 2 and 6 are evenly divisible by 2. To find the negative reciprocal of a slope, simply take the reciprocal of the slope and change the sign. You can take the negative reciprocal of a number simply by flipping the x and y coordinates and change the sign. The reciprocal of 1/2 is -2/1, or just -2; the reciprocal of -4 is 1/4. The negative reciprocal of -1/3 is 3 because 3/1 is the reciprocal of 1/3 and the sign has been changed from negative to positive.
Summary: Find the midpoint of the two points. Find the slope of the two points Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the two points.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sit down in a chair where you can easily put both of your feet flat on the floor. Then, extend either your left or right leg straight out in front of you. Make sure your foot is relaxed when your leg is extended all the way. Roll your ankle a few times and point your toes and flex them back and forth to get your foot in a true relaxed state. Unless you are very flexible, it is difficult to get an accurate measurement on your own. Have another person take a tape measure or ruler and measure from the bottom of your heel to where the ball of the foot bends at the end of the ball. The measurement they get is your ideal heel height. The ball of the foot is the padded part of the sole that is between your arch and toes. If you rise up off of your heels, you will be balancing on the balls and toes of your feet. If you don't have someone who can help you measure, you can do it on your own. Attach a tape measure to the wall at the same height your leg will be extended. Attaching it where the bottom of your heel will be is ideal for the easiest and most accurate measurement. Set up a camera against a wall at a height where it will be able to fully capture your extended leg and tape measure. You will need a camera with a self-timer, selfie stick, or remote to capture the picture. Take a few test shots to make sure you have the camera set to the right angle and height. Once you've taken a good photo, you can determine the measurement on the camera screen, but it's typically easier if you upload the photo onto your computer. After it has been uploaded, you can zoom in to determine your ideal heel height or draw lines with Photoshop or a similar image editing software to make determining the measurement very easy to read.
Summary:
Sit and extend your leg directly in front of you. Have a friend measure from the ball of your foot to your heel. Attach measuring tape to the wall alternatively. Set up a camera to capture the measurement on your own. Upload the photo and draw lines to determine heel height.
