Description

Finding slope using right triangles on a coordinate plane is an important conceptual piece in a students' understanding of slope. These two activities will allow students to both find and use right triangles to find the slope of a line. In their exploration of slope triangles, students will also understand that various sized triangles may be used, as long as the leg lengths are proportional.

Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 for a line through the origin and the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 for a line intercepting the vertical axis at 𝘣.
Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.
