Goals: Graph and interpret equations in slope- intercept form that model real life situations. Use a graphing calculator to graph linear equations. Eligible Content: A / A / A / A A / A / A
Slope is rate of change y-intercept is the beginning amount
The graph shows the number of cookies left on a plate after time has passed at a party. Find the slope and tell what it reveals about the situation. Find the y-intercept and tell what it reveals about the situation.
The equation h = ½ t + 24 models changing river heights. h represents the height of the river (in feet) and t represents the time (in hours) since the flooding began. What does the slope of the equation reveal about this situation? What does the y-intercept of the equation reveal about this situation?
The equation s = 15t + 25 models changing speeds of a car as it enters an expressway. s represents the speed of the car (in miles per hour) and t represents the time (in minutes). What does the slope of the equation reveal about this situation? What does the y-intercept of the equation reveal about this situation?
Equations must be in slope intercept form. Press Y= button Type in equation Press GRAPH button To change the x and y axes press WINDOW
Graph each equation on your calculator: 1. y = 3x y = -5x x + y = x – 2y = 10
