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.

Take Note: Define slope. You may use the canvas to help illustrate your description.

Problem 1 Got It? What is the slope of line c? Enter only a number.

Problem 2 Got It? Graph the equation on the canvas.
Be sure to include all relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Problem 2 Extension: Graph both equations on the same plane using the embedded Desmos utility. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.

We have released a new and improved Graphing question type! Students will no longer be able to answer this question.

Take Note: Summarize the process of writing the equation of a line in slope-intercept form when you know the coordinates of two points on the line. You may use the canvas to help illustrate your description.

Problem 4 Got It? Graph both of the equations below, created from Problem 4 and its Got It, on the same plane. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.
