1. Finding the Slope Algebraically

2. Objectives I am learning how to write linear equations in the slope-intercept format. I am learning how to calculate the slope between two points. I am learning how to calculate the y-intercept when given two points.

3. Define Slope _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________ _____________________

4. What is the slope? Find the slope of a line that passes through the point (2, 4) and (7, 14) by graphing the points and drawing and labeling a slope triangle.

5. What is the slope? Find the slope of a line that passes through the point (2, 4)and (7, 14). This time show your work algebraically. (What do you know about slope that could help you with the calculation?)

13. Generalizing the Process Step 1: (x 1, y 1 ), (x 2, y 2 ) To write and equation from two points there are two pieces of information that need to be calculated. The first piece of information needed is the slope and the second piece of information is the y- intercept. To calculate the slope of line, __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________
