University of Georgia: Slope of Lines

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

In this linear equations worksheet, students solve 36 linear equations. Students write equations of lines in slope intercept form given a graph, standard form, two points, and slope and a point.

This activity helps young mathematicians connect the graph and the point-slope form of a line, by first solving a real-world problem and then using that example to motivate the understanding of the equation. By manipulating the gizmo,...

Parallel parking might be difficult, but finding parallel lines is fairly simple. In this lesson, learners first complete an assessment task involving parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Individuals then take part...

In this intercepts and slope worksheet, students find the slope and/or the x and y-intercepts in fifty-three problems.  Students also graph lines using the x and y-intercepts.

Explain how to find the slope of a graph of a line with a video that points out how no matter what two points are used on a graph of a line, the slope is the same. A few examples reiterate how to find the slope of vertical...

Slope is the steepness of a line, but how do you quantify steepness? A video demonstrates how to find the slope of a line from a graph, either by counting vertical and horizontal change or by using the slope formula. Five...

Math can be a slippery slope. A video introduces the concept of slope, provides its definition, and shows examples of positive and negative slopes. It connect the examples to skateboard ramps to help pupils...

This site from the University of North Caroline at Wilmington provides great information on the lines in a plane. The information that is given is in-depth and complete, touching on the slope of a line, equations of lines, and linear...

This site gives a description of a line of symmetry along with an with a visual representation. There are links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point involving lines...
