Functions and the Vertical Line Test
Students explore the concept of functions. In this function lesson, students determine if the graph is a function by using the vertical line test. Students use an applet to explore the vertical line test on a variety of graphs.

Power Function Inverses
Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...

Slope
Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope lesson, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.
