Determining the Equation of a Line from a Point and the Slope

Students reviewed the method of determining the slope of a line when given two points on the line. Next, we talked about how we can determine the equation of a line when given both the slope and one of the points on the line. Students practiced this technique, and then got started on tonight's homework. Hopes for using the handhelds were dashed--perhaps tomorrow we'll be able to use them.

Tonight's Homework: Lesson 5.1 (12 - 29 all) and just the spreadsheet formula for the intercept for Graphing Worksheet 5.
