Standards+and+Objectives

Students verify that a point lies on a line, given an equation of the line. Students are able to derive linear equations by using the point slope formula.
 * Standard 7.0 **

With students widing thier understanding of slope, given the equation of a line, we can verify a point lies on the line. Also students will find slope to write an equation of a line when two points are given. Students will use the concept of slope to graph and derive linear equations. Eventually: In mastering the foundation of the concept of slope and its application students will build knowledge of linear equations, which will lead to quadratic functions where slope is not constant.

SECTION 7.4 SLOPE Objectives SWBAT define slope in three different ways. SWBAT identify the slope of a line as positive, negative, zero, or undefined. SWBAT explain how to determine the slope of a line given two points. SWBAT construct a linear equation given the slope and a point on the line. SWBAT interpret the slope of a line using the steepness and rate of change.
