Description

This resource focuses on teaching students how to calculate the slope from various types of graphs and coordinate points. The primary learning objective is for students to accurately determine the slope using the slope formula (m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)) and the rise over run method for different slope types including positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes. It includes definitions and examples of slope types, multiple-choice questions for practice, and calculation workspaces for students to show their work when finding slopes between points. Additionally, there are exercises for calculating slopes from given graphs, reinforcing the understanding that involves identifying key points and applying the slope formula effectively. Students will also classify the slope types and provide justifications for their classifications, enhancing their analytical skills in mathematical reasoning.
