Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
The slope of a line represents its rate of change in the vertical direction, and can be calculated as rise over run.
- •
In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line, while 'b' represents the y-intercept.
- •
Vertical lines have an undefined slope, horizontal lines have a slope of zero, and any two points can define a line.
