New unit - what will we be learning

Slope Graphing lines

Slope-intercept form y = mx + b Point slope form (y – y1) = m(x = x1) Standard forms Ax + By = C

Writing equations of lines Slope-intercept form y = mx + b Point slope form (y – y1) = m(x = x1) Standard forms Ax + By = C

Parallel and perpendicular lines Lines of fit

FYI… This is the foundation for upper level math

courses such as Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus

ACT LOVES THIS STUFF!!!

Announcements1. I will be collecting and grading most homeworks2. To do well on the quizzes, tests, and final, you need

to not only be able to use the formulas, but truly understand and apply the concepts

3. You need to complete the “HOTS” problems4. You can expect:

1. 1-2 quizzes/week1. Homework or specific problems from hw2. WUs3. Exit slip

2. Lots of practice problems in class3. Many WU practice problems4. Many exit slip practice problems

5. Vocabulary note cards are due every Friday

All PPT and HWs are on the Infinity website Math Vocab sheet is on the Infinity website Office Hours

Every Tuesday and Thursday in the LibraryMonday and Wedesday with Mr. Martinez in room

For the next 15 minutes…

• Complete the ODD questions “Get ready for the next unit” handout

• When you finish, cut a piece of graph paper into 8 squares

• Set-up Cornell notes. Topic is “Slope”

Why do we use Why do we use mm for slope? for slope?

• Possibly because m comes from the French word “monter”, which means to climb

• The earliest textbooks used m, and everyone else just copied it


• Is the slope positive or negative?

Answer:

Positive, read from left to right

““Official” Definition of SlopeOfficial” Definition of Slope

Slope is the change in the vertical distance (rise) over the change in the horizontal distance (run)

Pendiente: Razon del cambio en la coordenada y (elevacion) al cambio correspondiente en la coordenada x (desplazamiento) a medida que uno se mueve de un punto a otra en una recta.
