Linear Models and Slope Calculations

The document discusses linear models and rates of change. It covers finding the slope of a line passing through two points, writing equations of lines given a point and slope, interpreting slope as a ratio or rate of change, sketching graphs of linear equations, and writing equations of lines parallel or perpendicular to a given line. The learning objectives are to calculate slope, write equations of lines, interpret slope as a ratio or rate, sketch linear graphs, and write equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• FIND THE SLOPE OF A LINE PASSING THROUGH
TWO POINTS
• WRITE THE EQUATION OF A LINE WITH A GIVEN
POINT AND SLOPE
• INTERPRET SLOPE AS A RATIO OR AS A RATE IN A
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION
• SKETCH THE GRAPH OF A LINEAR EQUATION IN
SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
• WRITE EQUATIONS OF LINES THAT ARE PARALLEL
OR PERPENDICULAR TO A GIVEN LINE
THE SLOPE OF A LINE
THE SLOPE OF A LINE
EQUATIONS OF LINES
Any two points on a nonvertical line can be used to
calculate its slope. This can be verified from similar
triangles.
Finding an Equation of a Line
Find an equation of the line that has a slope of 3 and passes through the
point (1, - 2)
RATIOS AND RATES OF CHANGE
The slope of a line can be interpreted as either a ratio
or a rate. If the x- and y-axes have the same unit of
measure, the slope has no units and is a ratio. If the
x- and y-axes have different units of measure, the
slope is a rate of change.
