Lesson Objectives Students will master the following 8 th grade Introduction to Algebra and Geometry Instructional Standards: Interpret slope as a rate of change (GPS) (8 MA_E 2009 -56) Determine the meaning of the slope and y-intercept in a given situation (GPS) (8 MA_E 2009 -57) Graph linear equations in slope intercept form y = mx + b (GPS) (8 MA_E 2009 -58) Time to Learn!

F What do you need to know ! t irs about slope-intercept form? Click on the boxes below to explore each definition! Definition of Slope Definition of Intercepts Definition of Slope-Intercept Form Second! Let’s Graph!

Definition of Slope Definitions Home Page! “The constant change of a line is called the slope of the line. ” – Holt Textbook Pg 311 You should know two things about slope: The “Types” of Slope How to “Count” Slope If you are not familiar with either topic, click on the box for a quick review.

Slope! We “read” slope just like we would read a book: From LEFT to RIGHT. The direction your line moves indicates the type of slope.

There are Four Types of Slope Click on the green boxes to further explore each type! Positive! Negative! Zero! Undefined! Slope Home Page!

Positive Slope! With POSITIVE slope, the line rises from left to right. It does not matter WHERE the line is located on the coordinate plane, but rather the direction. Often, we think of positive slope as a line going UP. We can see slope in real life! Can you see the POSITIVE slope in the picture above? (click on the picture to check your answer)

Negative Slope! With NEGATIVE slope, the line falls from left to right. Often, we think of negative slope as a line going DOWN. Check out the picture to the left! Can you find the NEGATIVE slope? (click on the picture to check your answer)

Zero Slope! Zero slope always looks like a HORIZONTAL line. An easy way to remember this is by visualizing a person walking on your line. The person has ZERO slope because they do not go up or down. Click on the graph to see this!

Undefined Slope! VERTICAL lines have undefined slope. Think of “undefined” slope as having no where else to go, but up…or down! Where would our person go in this graph? (click on the graph to see!)

Let’s Practice! Tell whether the slope of each line is positive, negative, zero, or undefined. Click on the graph to check your answer! Positive Negative Zero The graph rises from left to right. The graph falls from left to right. The graph is a horizontal line. Negative Undefined The graph falls from left to right. The graph is a vertical line. Positive The graph rises from left to right.

Definition of Intercepts Definitions Home Page! “The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. The x-coordinate of this point is always 0. ” (0, y-intercept) – Holt Textbook Pg 303 “The x-intercept is the x-coordinate of the point where the graph intersects the x-axis. The y-coordinate of this point is always 0. ” (x-intercept, 0) – Holt Textbook Pg 303 Let’s See How to Remember This Vocabulary!

When you hear “intercepts, ” think: Football! http: //espn. go. com/video/clip? id=5667192 Think of your line like the “path” Denard Robinson wanted his football to be thrown. The y-intercept represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis. For our story, this is where Chris L. Rucker “intercepts” the ball. Click on the Player to Hear a Story about the Video! The x-intercept represents the point where the line crosses the x-axis. For our story, let’s suppose Michigan State “intercepts” the ball again at the x-axis.

Let’s Practice! Find the x- and y- intercepts. A. B. Where does the line cross the x-axis? The x-intercept is: 5 Where does the line cross the y-axis? The y-intercept is: -4 Where does the line cross the x-axis? The x-intercept is: 2 Where does the line cross the y-axis? The y-intercept is: 1

Your Turn! C. Find the x- and y- intercepts. D. The x-intercept is: 4 The x-intercept is: -1 The y-intercept is: 2 The y-intercept is: 4 Click on the question to view the answer.

Slope-Intercept Form Definitions Home Page! y = mx + b slope y-intercept “If a line has slope m and the y-intercept b, then the line is described by the equation y = mx + b. ” – Holt Textbook Pg 335
