1. Warm-up: Refer to your Learning Log (Problem 90) that you did yesterday.
a) Find the slope of a line that intersects the points (1, 4) and (5, 6) ?
b) Can you now find the y-intercept?
c) What is the equation of this line?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today's lesson is titled "All things y = mx + b" We will take a look at some concepts that we might have missed, as well as review some key skills that relate to slope and linear equations
Activity #1: Debate- Does the steepness of a line determine how large (or small) the slope is?
Activity #2: Mini-lesson- Zero slope
Activity #3: Slope is a synonym for "unit rate"- Quickly write the equation of a line given a situation
Activity #4: Using linear equations (y = mx + b) to make predictions
Activity #5: If time remains, log on to Marble Slides (blog entry from 3/24)
Homework: Finish activities 3 & 4 (in Google Classroom)
