Chapter 8 Linear Functions

1. Chapter 8 – Functions and Graphing 8.4 - Slope

2. The Tile Problem Create a table to show the pattern. What expression can we use to show the relationship between the dark and white tiles? w = 2 d + 6 Where else can we find a “2” in a pattern? Dark White 1 2 3 4 5

4. Formulas for Slope Slope or m = change in y change in x m = . y 2 – y 1 x 2 – x 1 m = rise run

5. The House That Slope Built Zero Slope…Zero Fun! Positive Slope Negative Slope No Slope!!! NOT SAFE!!!

6. Graph a line that passes through (-2, 3) and (3, -3). Find the slope of the line.

7. Find the slope of the line that contains A(2,6) and B(-3, -8). Then graph the line.

8. Find the slope of each line.

9. Find the slope of each line.
