Week 1Lesson 1Slope and Rate of ChangeDefinition of slope and rate of change Calculating slope using rise over run Understanding positive, negative, zero, and undefined slopes Real-world applications of slope Practice problemsLesson 2Direct VariationsDefinition and characteristics of direct variation Identifying direct variation equations Graphing direct variation equations Solving problems involving direct variation Practice problemsLesson 3Slope-Intercept Form and Point-Slope FormIntroduction to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) Understanding the meaning of slope and y-intercept Graphing linear equations in slope-intercept form Introduction to point-slope form (y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)) Converting between slope-intercept and point-slope forms Practice problemsWeek 2Lesson 4Standard FormIntroduction to standard form (Ax + By = C) Converting between slope-intercept and standard forms Graphing linear equations in standard form Practice problemsLesson 5Creating Parallel and Perpendicular EquationsUnderstanding the relationship between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines Identifying parallel and perpendicular lines Finding equations of parallel and perpendicular lines Solving problems involving parallel and perpendicular lines Practice problemsLesson 6Review and ApplicationReview of all concepts covered in the course Real-life applications of linear equations Practice problems and real-world scenarios Q&A and final discussion
- Students will work towards the following goals: Understanding Cartesian Coordinates: Define Cartesian coordinates and the Cartesian plane. Identify and label the x-axis, y-axis, and origin. Plot points in the Cartesian plane using ordered pairs. Graphing Linear Equations: Learn to graph linear equations in the form y = mx + b (slope-intercept form). Understand the concepts of slope and y-intercept. Plot the y-intercept and use the slope to find additional points to graph the line. Recognize different types of slopes (positive, negative, zero, undefined) and how they affect the graph. Finding and Interpreting Slope: Define slope as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on a line. Calculate slope using formulas. Interpret slope as a rate of change or steepness of a line. Understand the relationship between the sign of the slope and the direction of the line. Graphing Linear Inequalities: Understand how linear inequalities represent regions on the coordinate plane. Graph linear inequalities using shading and boundary lines. Identify solutions to linear inequalities graphically.
