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.

Solve It! If you copied the graph, could you draw a new line that would not intersect the other lines in the graph?
Solve It! Can you draw a line that will intersect one of the lines in such a way that the intersection forms four congruent angles? Explain.

Problem 1 Got It?

Problem 4 Got It? What equation could the architect enter to represent a second beam whose graph will pass through the corner at (0, 10) and be parallel to the existing beam. An equation that represents the existing beam is:
Which equation below has a graph that is parallel to the graph of the equation given?
Which equation below has a graph that is perpendicular to the graph of the equation given?
Which equation below has a graph that is parallel to the graph of the equation given?
What is an equation of the line that passes through (3, -1) and is parallel to the equation below?
Give your answer in slope-intercept form.
What is an equation of the line that passes through (2, -3) and is perpendicular to y = x - 5?
Give your answer in slope-intercept form.
Vocabulary: The two numbers in the pair are opposite reciprocals.
Vocabulary: The two numbers in the pair are opposite reciprocals.
Vocabulary: The two numbers in the pair are opposite reciprocals.
Open-Ended: Write equations of two parallel lines.
Compare and Contrast: How is determining if two lines are parallel similar to determining if they are perpendicular? How are the processes different?
Review Lesson 5-5: What is the x-intercept of the line given by the equation?
Review Lesson 5-5: What is the y-intercept of the line given by the equation?
Review Lesson 5-5: Graph the equation using x- and y-intercepts. Identify the intercepts clearly.
Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.
