Homework for 1/2 november

We have a handout on slope.

There will be a quiz on slope and rates on Friday (period 8) and Monday (period 1).

The first page looks like this:

Algebra Slope and Equations of lines

1) Graph each pair of points. Draw the line segment between them, and the slope triangle (up and over). Find the slope of the line between these two pairs of points:

a) A (-1, 3) and B (-4, 5) b) C (2, 6) and D (6, -2)

c) E (-2, -2) and F (3, 4) d) G (0, -3) and H (8, -1)

2) Find the slope of the line between each two pair of points:

a) (-10, -10) and (-8, 2) b) (2, 5) and (8, -1) c) (4, 0) and (-1, 0)

d) (-4, 9) and (-8, 3) e) (7, 0) and (7, 5) f) (1, -3) and (10, 3)

g) (-3, a) and (3, 2) h) (2, 12) and (p, q) i) (4, 2) and (2, 4)

3) On a graph, draw 3 lines that a) go through the point (0, 0) and b) have a slope between 0 and 1. Make sure each goes through at least one easily known point. Then find the slope of each of your lines, and the equation of each.
