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.
Question 1
1.

Solve It! Ski resorts use steepness to rate the difficulty of their hills. The steeper the hill, the higher the difficulty rating. Shown are stretches of three new hills at a particular resort.


Which hill gets which rating?
