Point-Slope Application Problems

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Point-Slope Application Problems lesson plan also includes:

Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils create linear equations using the point-slope form and convert it to slope intercept form to answer questions about the initial and other values.
