Beginning Linear Functions

This is a simple lesson used to describe the concept of slope to algebra students. Students will be able to:

  • determine positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes by looking at graphed functions.
  • determine x- and y- intercepts by substitution or by examining graphs.
  • write equations in slope-intercept form and make graphs based on slope/y-intercept of linear functions.
