Find the slope from an equation
Find the slope from an equation
What you'll learn
- Identify the slope and y-intercept in a linear equation written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) with 80% accuracy.
- Solve for 'y' in a linear equation not in slope-intercept form (e.g., 2x + y = 5) and rewrite it in y = mx + b form in at least 3 out of 4 attempts.
- Explain how the value of 'm' in the equation y = mx + b represents the steepness and direction of a line, using examples to justify their reasoning.
- Determine the slope from a linear equation in standard form (Ax + By = C) by converting it to slope-intercept form and correctly identifying the slope in at least 2 out of 3 problems.
