1. SWBAT calculate the gradient, intercepts, equation of a 2D line, and find a point of intersection in writing from two points DO Now:

2. Gradient

3. Gradient from a Graph Find two points ON THE LINE! – For best results, try to choose points that have integer coordinates (where the gridlines meet) A)Method 1: Draw a right triangle from the one point to the next and count the spaces for each variable. B)Method 2: Use the formula to calculate the slope more accurately from the coordinates of both points.

4. Gradient from a Table Determine the change in the dependent variable = Δy Determine the change in the independent variable = Δx Divide to determine the ratio

5. Gradient from Two Points

6. Special Gradients
