Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The lesson follows a...

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...

Pupils determine the pattern in collinear points in order to determine the next point in a sequence. Using the definition of slope, they practice using the slope formula, and finish the activity with three different ways to...

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...

This resource should be called "All About Lines, and Then Some!". Packed full of all the key components of linear functions, learners review how to set up different equations, find intercepts, and graph. All the main topics are included...

Do you need to graph lines to see the point? A thorough lesson plan provides comprehensive instruction focused on solving systems of equations by graphing. Resources include guided practice worksheet, skill practice worksheet,...

This textbook takes the learner from the basic definition of slope through derivatives, integrals, and vector multivariable calculus. Each section is composed primarily of examples, with theoretical introductions and explanations in...

Need a helping hand in Algebra I? How about a giant, super-sized learning exercise packet? Here is a resource that has worksheets for virtually every concept with some accompanying examples. 

So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using...

You may be able to see patterns visually, but mathematics quantifies them. Here learners find correlation in scatterplots and write equations to represent that relationship. They fit a line to the data, find two points on the line, and...

Roller coaster cars traveling along a graph create quite a story! The lesson analyzes both linear and non-linear graphs. Learners determine the intervals that a graph is increasing and/or decreasing and to locate maximum and/or...

When guess and check gets old, it's time to start graphing! An instructive lesson explains how to solve a system of linear equations using graphing. Equations are in both slope-intercepts and standard form. 

Direct and to the point (the slope at a point that is) describes this one-page proof of the derivative of the sin(x). The definition of a derivative using a limit is the first step in this sequential, algebraic, explanation of how...

If it's warm, they will come! Learners find a line of best fit to show a relationship between temperature and beach visitors. Previous lessons in the series showed pupils how to create and find associations in scatter plots. Now,...

Looking for a complete go-to guide for the standard form of conics? This five-page packet does a nice job of connecting conics to prior knowledge of functions and transformations. Adapt the resource as Algebra II lesson plan...

Is there a correlation between the number of cats you own and your age? Use a scatter plot to analyze these correlation questions. Learners plot data and look for positive, negative, or no correlation, then create stem-and-leaf plots to...

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

This site from the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center, Syracuse University has a very substantial discussion of math topics slope & line equations. The outline form is quite useful if you need to zero in on one aspect of...

Detailed math tutorial features notes and examples that discuss graphing lines and introduces the concept of slope, the standard form of the line, the point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and parallel and perpendicular lines.

The basic concepts of graphing are covered on this site, including points, slopes, equations of lines, and y-intercept. A quick discussion on the Pythagorean Theorem is also concluded. Several practice and application problems are...

This site provides an example of a negative slope, including the equation of the line shown. Also given is a definition of a negative slope.

Demonstrates, step-by-step and with illustrations, how to use slope and the y-intercept to graph straight lines.

A brief overview of three methods used to graph lines is presented through examples. Slope-intercept, point-slope, and intercept form are demonstrated step-by-step along with a review of the formula for finding the slope of a line.

This study guide on lines in a coordinate plane covers key terms, what different line slopes look like, postulates about parallel and perpendicular lines, the slope-intercept equation, how to graph parallel and perpendicular lines, and...
