Connecting BIG ideas and Answering the Essential Questions

1 Proportionality In the graph of a line, the ratio for the slope indicates the rate of change. Rate of Change and Slope (Lesson 5-1)
slope , equals . fraction rise , over run end fraction . equals . fraction y sub 2 , minus , y sub 1 , over x sub 2 , minus , x sub 1 end fraction
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines (Lesson 5-6)
Parallel lines have the same slope. The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is negative 1 .
2 Functions There are several forms for the equation of a line. Each form communicates different information. For instance, from the point-slope form, you can determine a point and the slope of a line. Slope-Intercept Form (Lesson 5-3)
y equals m x plus b
Point-Slope Form (Lesson 5-4)
y minus , y sub 1 , equals m open x minus , x sub 1 , close
Standard Form (Lesson 5-5)
eh x plus b y equals c
 
3 Modeling You can model the trend of the real-world data in a scatter plot with the equation of a line. You can use the equation to estimate or to make predictions. Scatter Plots and Trend Lines (Lesson 5-7)
The trend line that shows the relationship between two sets of data most accurately is called the line of best fit.
