Forms of Lines and Modeling Using Linear Equations
Description:
This unit focuses on different forms of linear equations. Slope- intercept, point-slope and standard forms are introduced. Students will write all three forms using short descriptions, tables of values and/or graphs. In addition, students will be able to transform one form into another and construct linear graphs for each form. They will be able to graph lines using the x and y- intercepts, a slope and y-intercept, a point and a slope or two points, accordingly to the given form of the equation. The unit will be concluded with an introduction to linear modeling, where students will recognize linear relationship between independent and dependent variables. Students will derive equations, graph functions and use their equations and graphs to make predictions. In the process of modeling, students will determine the constant rate of change and initial value of a function from a description of a relationship. They will interpret slope as rate of change, relate slope to the steepness of a line, and learn that the sign of the slope indicates that a linear function is increasing if the slope is positive and decreasing if the slope is negative.
Section 4.3 – Point-Slope Form Notes and Practice Lines of the form _____________________ are written in ______________________ form. Example 1: Write an equation for the line with slope = 2, that goes through the point (7, 3)
Example 2: Write an equation for the line with slope = 23
, that goes through the point (5, -6)
Example 3: Write an equation for the line with slope = -4, that goes through the point (-2, 1) In order to write the equation of any line you need _______________ and the ____________. If you are given both of those things, as you were above, then it’s easy to use the point-slope form of the line. Sometimes you aren’t actually given the information out-right, but you can figure it out from other information.
Example 4: Write an equation for a line that goes through the points (1, 3) and (-2, 2).
You have a point – in fact, you have two points from which to choose, but you need __________________________________. Fortunately, you can compute it: Let’s use the first point: __________________ with the slope ________________. The equation is: ___________________________________________________
