Derive the Equation of a Line

TEKS Math: 8.5.A

(A) Represent linear proportional situations with tables, graphs, and equations in the form of y = kx

8.5.B

(B) Represent linear non-proportional situations with tables, graphs, and equations in the form of y = mx + b, where b ≠ 0

CCSS Math: 8.EE.6

8.EE.6 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.

This expressions and equations lesson teaches students how to derive the equation of a line. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will derive the slope of a given line. This lesson focuses on the use of the y-intercept and finding the slope to create an equation that defines a particular line. This lesson includes problems with real-world word problems.
