Texas Gateway: Modeling Data With Linear Functions
Given a scatterplot where a linear function is the best fit, the student will interpret the slope and intercepts, determine an equation using two data points, identify the conditions under which the function is valid, and use the linear...

State University of New York: The Classius Clapyron Equation
The Classius-Clapyron equation can be used to determine the enthalpy of vaporization from vapor pressure measurements over a range of temperatures. In this simulation students are asked to create the appropriate plot of the data and use...

Illustrative Mathematics: G Gpe.5 Triangles Inscribed in Circle
In this task, students use ideas about linear functions to determine when certain angles are right angles. They use the fact that two lines (if not vertical or horizontal) are perpendicular when their slopes are inverse reciprocals, as...

Texas Instruments: A Sweet Drink Adventure 7
Students determine how the temperature of water affects the dissolving time of a sugar cube. They create, interpret and analyze graphs of data, find an equation of the line of best fit, and relate slope to rate of change.
