In this lesson, you will work to find the slope of a line from two points, a graph, and a table. You will then use this knowledge to write equations of lines in three different forms: slope-intercept form, point-slope form, and standard form.

When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Write the slope of a line.
  • Write the equation of a line in different forms.

Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:

  • 4.7.1: Evaluating Fractions
  • 4.7.2: Finding Slope From Tables, Graphs, and Points
    • 4.7.2: Self Check
    • 4.7.2: Additional Resources
  • 4.7.3: Writing Linear Equations
    • 4.7.3: Self Check
    • 4.7.3: Additional Resources
  • 4.7.4: Writing Equations From Two Points

After that, you’ll practice and review.

  • 4.7.5: Practice
  • 4.7.6: Lesson Summary
