In this lesson, you learned how to:

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

Here are the activities that helped you reach those goals:

  • 4.7.1: Evaluating Fractions
    • In this activity, you simplified fractions that involved adding and subtracting in both the numerator and denominator.
  • 4.7.2: Finding Slope From Tables, Graphs, and Points
    • In this activity, you learned how to find the slope using the slope formula, given two coordinates, a graph of a line, and a table of values.
    • 4.7.2: Self Check
    • 4.7.2: Additional Resources
  • 4.7.3: Writing Linear Equations
    • In this activity, you learned how to write equations in three different forms and also created equivalent equations by writing the equations into the different forms.
    • 4.7.3: Self Check
    • 4.7.3: Additional Resources
  • 4.7.4: Writing Equations From Two Points
    • In this activity, you put everything together to write equations in all three forms, given two points which you used to find the slope of the line.

After these activities, you completed the following practice:

  • 4.7.5: Practice
