Slope-Intercept Form NOTES & PRACTICE

Prerequisite: Students MUST know how to calculate rate of change from tables, graphs, formulas, and between two coordinates before attempting this lesson.

The Math Café has designed this Slope-Intercept lesson to follow the following resources:

Introduction to Slope

Slope/Rate of Change MINI-BUNDLE

This resource was developed to meet the requirements of the 8th Grade Functions Standards below:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.F.A.2
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.F.B.4
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

It contains the following resources:

1) Slope-Intercept Form NOTES & PRACTICE for:
