objects? Explain your reasoning.
If you wanted to make the water reach the highest mark on the cylinder, how many objects would you need?
Plot and label points that show your measurements from the experiment.
Does it matter which triangle you use to compute the slope? Why or why not?
The equation of the line in the experiment has two numbers and two variables. What physical quantities do the two numbers represent?
What does represent and what does represent?
A situation is represented by the following equation:
Invent a story for this situation.
Graph the equation
What do the and the represent in your situation?
Where do you see and on the graph?
For each graph, record:
Describe a procedure for finding the slope between any two points on a line.
Write an expression for the slope of the line in the graph using the letters and .
