Internet Hunt Starts here

This is the internet scavenger hunt we completed in 5th hour.  It's posted here to bring students in to the website first and for those reviewing for the BA tomorrow who want one more collection of ideas to help prepare for the exam.

Linear Functions Review

                                                           

Hello Algebra 1 students.  In this Internet scavenger hunt you will be reviewing the topics covered in the first half of Chapter 5 on linear functions.  You will receive a handout from your teacher that will help you organize and answer the questions below on linear functions. The questions relate to the websites directly above them. 

Points on a graph

1) Take a look at the graph on this website. Answer the questions next to the graph.

Point Plotter

Slope and y-intercepts

http://www.math.com/school/subject2/lessons/S2U4L2DP.html

11) What is the equation they give for slope?

12) What are the two points they use for positive slope? What is the slope? Draw a picture of the line that goes through the two points.

13) What are the two points they use for negative slope? What is the slope? Draw a picture of the line that goes through the two points.
