Lessons tagged with "slope"

This algebra and functions lesson focuses on determining the slope of a line using the slope formula. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students label the points as x1, y1, and x2, y2. Then, they substitute the y- and x- values into the slope formula. Finally, they determine the slope of the line and interpret it by identifying the direction of the line. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

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.
