Linear equations and slope

by Valentyna Parlak


This lesson will be focus on Slope and Linear Equations. This unit is designed to be used in Algebra I and Algebra II classes and can be modified for intermediate grades. This lesson will have students using various forms of technology such as Internet, Microsoft word, Spreadsheet, and PowerPoint.

During this lesson you will learn how to define and interpret the slope in the slope-intercept form to write equations,recognizing connections between graphs and the real world. You will create Power Point to present the slope problems and post it to this blog ,insert the tables in Microsoft Word, and create one table in Microsoft Excel .


Ask me questions  

                                                                                                     

Answer the questions:

A.    Compare the coefficients of x from each equation in Question 2 to the answer in the last row of each table. What do you notice?

B.     Compare the three tables. How are the results alike? How are they different?

C.     Graph the three equations from Question 2 on the same set of axes. (Go to website www.gomath.com, click on Auto-Graph, insert your equations, click Get Graph) Describe each graph. Which graph steepest? Which graph least steep?
