Slope

Today we're going to talk about slope, and then we're going to have a look at a third method for graphing lines: slope-intercept form.

Slope-Intercept Form

Once we have an understanding of what slope means, we can use it as a tool to sketch the graphs of lines. This method is called slope-intercept form, and it's my favorite method for graphing lines.

I have recorded several videos of worked-out example problems, which you can access at the link below. Once you start to get the hang of the problems, try them out before you watch the video to see if you're solving them correctly. And if you're not, compare your steps to those in the video to learn from your mistakes. This is a great opportunity for you to make sure you're doing each step correctly and mastering these skills!

Finally, remember to complete the homework assignment titled "Graphing Using Slope-Intercept Form" which is available on WebAssign and due this Sunday evening at 11:59pm (PT).
