Slippery Slopes

This lesson will not only reinforce students understanding of slope and y-intercept, but will also ensure the students understand how it can be modeled in a real world situation. The focus of this lesson is to show student's understanding of slope being a rate of change and the y-intercept the value of y when x is zero. They will be able to read a problem and create a linear equation based upon what they read. They will then make predictions based upon this information.
