Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Review Lesson 5-6: Find the slope of a line perpendicular to the graph of each equation.
slope of a perpendicular line: -3
slope of a perpendicular line: 4
slope of a perpendicular line: 1/4
slope of a perpendicular line: -1/3
slope of a perpendicular line: 3
y = 3x
y = -(1/4)x
(1/3)x - y = 2

Vocabulary Review: Classify each equation based on whether or not the variable is isolated.
8k = 16
m + 3 = -2
a = 7 - 3
12 = z + 4
23 = p
The variable is isolated
The variable is not isolated
