Graphing Parallel Lines

Students worked in pairs with handheld computers today. First, students learned how to manipulate the "Power One Graph" program, and once this was mastered, they tried to find equations of lines that were parallel to each other. This activity took up the entire class period, but students seemed to get the idea that the part of the equation that determined whether lines were parallel was the coefficient of the x term.

Tonight's Homework: Read Lesson 11.6, and then do problems 1-9.
