Student Objectives
The student will graph and write equations of lines given characteristics such as two points, a point and a slope, or a slope and y - intercept.
Materials -
Each student should have the picture of the Kite and a graphing calculator or access to GeoGebra graphing grid like this one. Handout
Procedures -
Students may work in pairs and use a graphing calculator to complete this assignment. Given the picture of the kite, students will write the equations including the restrictions on the domain. Students will then create a program in their calculators to execute their equations. If they have correctly derived the equations, their calculators will draw the kite.
GeoGebra Procedures
For equation such as y = -(4/5)x + 9.4, -7< x<-2, type Function[-(4/5)x + 9.4,-7, -2]
For vertical lines (equation such as x = -7, 3 < y < 15), type Segment[(-7, 3), (-7, 15)]
