Assignments COORDINATE PLANE Parts of a plane X-axis Y-axis Origin Quadrants I-IV X-axis Y-axis Origin ( 0 , 0 ) QUAD I QUAD II QUAD III QUAD IV PLOTTING POINTS Remember when plotting points you always start at the origin. Next you go left (if x-coordinate is negative) or right (if x-coordinate is positive. Then you go up (if y-coordinate is positive) or down (if y-coordinate is negative) Plot these 4 points A (3, -4), B (5, 6), C (-4, 5) and D (-7, -5) A B C D SLOPE Slope is the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run between any two points on a line. Usually referred to as the rise over run. Slope triangle between two points. Notice that the slope triangle can be drawn two different ways. Rise is -10 because we went down Run is -6 because we went to the left Rise is 10 because we went up Run is 6 because we went to the right Another way to find slope FORMULA FOR FINDING SLOPE The formula is used when you know two points of a line. EXAMPLE Find the slope of the line between the two points (-4, 8) and (10, -4) If it helps label the points. Then use the formula X AND Y INTERCEPTS The x-intercept is the x-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the y-axis. The x-intercept would be 4 and is located at the point (4, 0). The y-intercept is 3 and is located at the point (0, 3). SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM OF A LINE The slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where “m” represents the slope of the line and “b” represents the y-intercept. When an equation is in slope-intercept form the “y” is always on one side by itself. It can not be more than one y either. If a line is not in slope-intercept form, then we must solve for “y” to get i
