Module - Graphing Linear Relations and Functions
Lesson 3 - Slope
Objective

The student will be able to determine the slope of a line and use slope and a point to graph an equation. The student will also be able to determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

The student will recognize multiple representations of functions ( linear, quadratic, absolute value, step and exponential functions) and convert between a graph, a table, and symbolic form. A tranformational approach to graphing will be employed through the use of graphing calculators.

 
SOL

AII.6 - The student will recognize the general shape of function (absolute value, square root, cube root, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic) families and will convert between graphic and symbolic forms of functions. A transformational approach to graphing will be employed. Graphing calculators will be used as a tool to investigate the shapes and behaviors of these functions.
