Then they measure and record the horizontal and vertical distances between each of their steps and express the steepness of the ramp as a ratio of the measure of vertical change to the measure of horizontal change. Here is a picture of a storefront. The wall above and below the windows is covered with square tiles. The student understands the meaning of the slope and intercepts of linear functions and interprets and describes the effects of changes in parameters of linear functions in real-world and mathematical situations. Students find the slope of the line shown in the graph and tell what the slope represents in this situation.
Students explain what the y-intercept represents.
The student understands the meaning of the slope and intercepts of linear functions and interprets and describes the effects of changes in parameters of linear functions in real-world and mathematical situations. Then, for each function, students predict what they think the new graph will look like, use the graphing calculator to check their prediction, sketch the graph, and describe the change. The student understands the meaning of the slope and intercepts of linear functions and interprets and describes the effects of changes in parameters of linear functions in real-world and mathematical situations. Students write the equation of the line below. The student understands the meaning of the slope and intercepts of linear functions and interprets and describes the effects of changes in parameters of linear functions in real-world and mathematical situations.
