Pre-Calculus 10 · Algebra
Linear Functions and Slope
Slope is one of mathematics' most versatile concepts: rate of change, steepness, rise over run. In Pre-Calculus 10, students master all three forms of a linear equation and learn what parallel (equal slopes) and perpendicular (negative reciprocal slopes) mean algebraically. These skills are the entry point to systems of equations and, eventually, calculus.
WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
✓Calculate slope from two points, a graph, and an equation
✓Write equations of lines in slope-intercept, point-slope, and general form
✓Graph linear functions and interpret slope and intercepts in context
✓Determine whether two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither
