In this slope of a line worksheet, students use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line passing through a given point. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems, with answers.

This lesson introduces the idea of slope and defines it as a numerical measurement of the steepness of a line. Pupils then use the definition to compare lines, find positive and negative slopes, and notice their definition holds for...

Each form of a linear equation has its purpose — pupils just have to find it. Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners examine point-slope and standard form. Using point-slope form, pupils write the equation of a...

From start to finish this skills practice resource provides a way for individuals to explore the standard form equation of a line. Begin with a warm-up, work through the problems, and then discover the relationship between the...

This exercise is an opportunity for algebra learners to understand the connection between the slope of a line and points found on the line. Use similar triangles to explain why slope m is the same between any two points. Discuss with the...

In this slope and the equation of a line learning exercise, 9th graders solve 15 various types of problems that include determining the slope of a line segment and determining the equation of line when two points on the line are...

In this slope worksheet, students examine graph and determine the slope of a line.  They determine coordinates of a point to make a true statement.  Students identify the dependent variable and the independent...

In this writing equations worksheet, students find the equation of a line containing specified points. They determine the slope of a line from given points. This two-page worksheet contains 20 problems. Examples and explanations are...

Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the...

In this slope instructional activity, students determine the slopes of sixteen different graphed lines.  Solutions are provided on pages three and four of this instructional activity.

Here is an introduction to solving simultaneous linear equations. Start by drawing a line through two points. Create a second line which goes through the intersecting point. Background knowledge of how to find the equation of a line and...

Show your class that linear equations produce graphs of lines. The 20th segment in a unit of 33 provides proof that the graph of a two-variable linear equation is a line. Scholars graph linear equations using two points, either from...

In this slope of a line worksheet, students read about line graphs and plotting the slope of a line. They read about the rate of change which is represented by the slope. Students practice finding the slope of lines.

In this slope worksheet, learners identify the slope of a line from a linear equation.  This one page worksheet contains twenty-two linear equations given in various forms.  Students will need to manipulate equations to...

In this interactive worksheet, 8th graders review how to calculate the slope of a line, then solve 10 problems, given 2 points. Students may click for further information, on finding a slop of a line.

Develop another way to find the equation of a line. The instructional activity introduces the procedure to find the equation of a line given two points on the line. Pupils determine the two points from the graph of the line.

Enhance your class's understanding of linear equations by extending their study to parallel and perpendicular lines. Young mathematicians learn the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They then use that...

In this finding a slope instructional activity, students find the slope of a line from given points. This two-page instructional activity contains 16 problems. Answers are provided on the last page of the instructional activity.
