Curated OER
Practice Problems
Students will write an equation of a line perpendicular to a given line. They will be given the equation of the perpendicular line and point on the new line.
Curated OER
Slope
In this slope worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they find the slopes of the lines passing through each sets of coordinate pairs. Then, students find the parameter so that the line passing...
