Getting The Point

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...

It's a balancing act! Pupils balance pennies on a ruler to create a physical representation of a dot plot. The scholars then find the distances of the data points from the balance point, the mean.

In this standard and point-slope forms worksheet, students solve and complete 17 different types of problems. First, they write each equation in standard form. Then, students write each equation in point-slope form for the line that has...

Using a number line can provide students with a concrete representation of the value various numbers hold. Sal plots 6 different numbers on a number line. He includes whole, decimal, and negative numbers.

Given two points on a line, this video shows how to write the linear equation in point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form. First, Sal reviews each of these forms, then calculates the slope, writes the equation in...

Connect absolute value to distance when two points are plotted with the same x or y value. The video reviews graphing and common mistakes when plotting points. Learners will see that you can find the absolute value of the x or y...

The instructor demonstrates how to verify that a given point does or does not lie on the line of a given equation. She draws a graph (the axis lines need arrow ends) and plots the given linear equation. She then plots the coordinate...

This problem has many steps involved. Finding equations and rearranging equations. Finding slope and getting the opposite reciprocal of a slope. Finding intercepts. There's a lot to do to solve this problem. It's not so difficult, it...

Given the coordinates for a point on a line and given the slope of that line, write an equation in point-slope form. Really, all that needs to be done is to use the formula for point-slope form and plug in the values.

There are a lot of steps in this problem. But just like walking up a flight of stairs, you should take one step at a time, so too in the solving of this problem. The instructor explains each step and what to do to move to the next one.
