Connecting Slope with tables, graphs, and the point slope formula

Are your students having trouble seeing how the rate of change relates to the slope of the line, writing the equation, using the point slope formula and using input/output tables? This resource includes 3 real life prompts. Each prompt has the student complete an input/output table for the given values, graph those two values and connect them using a ruler, to then discover the slope and y-intercept. They even use those same two points to find the slope again using the point-slope formula.
