Equations From Lines

Objectives:
Students will determine equations in point-slope, standard, and slope-intercept form given 2 points on a line or 1 point on a line and its slope.

NCTM Standards:
Students understand relations and functions and select, convert flexibly among, and use various representations for them.

California Content Standards:
(7.0) Students verify that a point lies on a line, given an equation of the line. Students are able to derive linear equations by using the point-slope formula.
(8.0) Students are able to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point.
