Using the Slope Formula

Students discovered that the order in which you use the coordinates of the two points in the slope formula doesn't change the end result of the line's slope. Knowing this, students realized that they could do the problem one way and then check their work by doing the problem the opposite way. This proved to be a helpful tidbit when working on today's assignment. Students worked in groups to solve a series of slope problems.

Tonight's Homework: Complete the Challenge WS (the white one). Be sure the blue worksheet from yesterday is also completed.
