Lesson 6: A coordinate plane. Coordinate of a point. Graphs. Slope of a line

Here is a PDF version of the lesson.

Here is a PDF version of the workbook containing lots of practice.

In this lesson you will learn about a coordinate plane (Cartesian Plane), how to plot a point and record its coordinates – an ordered pair (x, y).

You will also learn how to determine the relationship between two quantities (one of which is dependent on another like distance and time) and how to graph it.

You will learn about the rate of change (slope of a line) and how to calculate it using the coordinates of the two points.

You will see how the slope of a line depends on the change in the x and y coordinates.

Additional practice will help you master the skills.
