Learners first determine the slope-intercept and standard forms of inequalities given graphs, and then determine key features of the graphs.

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...

What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

Predict the year that college costs will double in your state using linear modeling. The first part of this two-part project based learning activity asks young mathematicians to use data from the College Board. They graph the data,...

Learners analyze the difference between the slope intercept and standard forms of a line in this task. Given two general points using letters they explore linear functions and linear equations.

Your learners will explore linear functions by analyzing a graph of the linear equations.Then learners analyze through calculating f(x+P) and g(x+p)

The resource is a good introduction to what makes a proportional relationship between two lines. Discuss the similarities of both lines and the possibility of intersection. Use this opportunity to list other acceptable forms of each...

What would your dream house look like? A cottage? A medieval castle? High schoolers enrolled in Algebra design the perfect house while using slopes to write equations for various aspects of the project.

What is the financial benefit for attending a community college for the first two years before transferring to a four-year college? The second part of the educational lesson asks young scholars to explore this question through data...

The intent of this resource is to show algebra learners that there is a proportional relationship between two lines that have an intersecting point. As the coordinate x increases by a constant, the y coordinate also increases.  It...

Here is a resource that helps your algebra learners understand the connection between the graph of two lines, the equations of lines, and the solutions and intersecting points of lines. It would make a great assessment question, but can...

Washington State University provides a lesson on finding the slope of an equation and putting the equation into the desired form. The site also contains informatinon concerning parallel and perpendicular lines.

The tutorial examines point-slope form. Learners investigate the method for graphing a linear equation on an x-y axis. Detailed examples and a message board to post additional questions are included.

This Northeast Parallel Architectures Center of Syracuse University site contains a brief description of the point-slope form for equations along with the formula.

Students learn to develop the equation of a line from its graph. They also learn to write the equation of a line from the slope and the y-intercept, a point and the slope, and two points. They also investigate slopes of lines that are...

WebMath offers a java applet that allows you to input the slope of a line and a point on the line and gives you the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line with the given slope that passes through the point. It also includes a...

Not only does this site show what the slope-intercept form is, but it helps you find the slope and the intercept of a line. There is also additional information on parallel lines, parametric form, and the distance between two points.

This site contains a short tutorial on point-slope, slope-intercept, and general form of linear equations. The site has an interactive graph of lines showing how the graph of a line changes when values of the linear equation change.

Students will identify x- and y-intercepts graphically. Students will calculate the slope between 2 points. Students will write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form when given the graph of the line.
