Introduction

This unit will begin as a review of graphing lines in a coordinate plane. This will include finding slope from points, graphs and equations. You will also review how to graph a line on a coordinate plane by using information from a linear equation in slope intercept form.

You may be thinking, "I don't remember much of this." Don't worry! That is why we are spending the first part of the unit reviewing. After the review you will apply this knowledge to determine if multiple lines are parallel or perpendicular by analyzing information from graphs and linear equations.
