IMG_2288.PNG

Topics Covered:

  1. Graphing Ordered Pairs & Quadrants of a Graph

  2. x-intercepts and y-intercepts of a graph

  3. Horizontal and Vertical Lines (y=# & x=#)

  4. Understanding how to read slope from a graph (rise over run)

  5. Finding the slope using slope formula (from a table and from ordered pairs)

  6. Explain the meaning of the parts of an equation written in slope-intercept form & point-slope form

  7. Writing equations in slope-intercept form when given

    1. the y-intercept and slope

    2. by analyzing the graph.

    3.  the slope and a point

    4. given two points (use the two points to find the slope, then plug in an ordered pair to find the y-intercept)

    5. Standard form

    6. a point and an equation that it is parallel or perpendicular to (same or opposite reciprocal slopes)

  8. Graph equations when given:​​

    1. an input/output table

    2. the equation in slope-intercept form

    3. the equation in point-slope form

    4. Standard form

    5. x=# & y=#

    6. graphing calculator
      Challenge Zone:

      1. ​the slope and a point

      2. two points

  9. Graphing: Word Problems (the slope is your rate of change) 

Quiz 1 on lessons 1, 2, and 3!

5.

Finding the slope using slope formula (from a table and from ordered pairs)

4.3

Writing Equations in Point Slope Form

IXL Practice

    • ​S.23 Point-slope form: write an equation PPE

  • Example 4

    • ​ S.24 Point-slope form: write an equation from a graph LBX

Students will be able to... 

  • Memorize and understand the parts of point-slope form and standard form in addition to slope-intercept form learned in 4.1

  • Write equations in point-slope form when given the point and the slope.

  • Use inverse operations to change equations into standard form

  • Use inverse operations to change equations from point-slope form to slope-intercept form.

  • Write equations in point-slope form when given two points (and no slope)

8.

Graphing Equations

Graph equations when given:​​

  1. Challenge Zone:

    1. Standard form

      1. S.12 Linear equations: solve for y T5F

      2. s.17 Write equations in standard form ESP

      3.  Y.11 Convert a linear equation in standard form to slope-intercept form NKM

I Can Write Equations Given...

CHAPTER 4

This activity helps you organize all the ways you can write equations in slope intercept form. You are given different information to start with in each question so you will have a different, yet similar, process for each one. All answers should be written in slope-intercept form.

This should take about 15 minutes.

Pizza Math - Chapter 4 Review

CHAPTER 4

Using dominos.com and your question worksheet, you will discover how much Dominos pizza really costs.

This lesson requires knowledge about slope-intercept form and Desmos.

This will take about 45 minutes.
