Copy of Plotting Points: Dynamic Illustrator
The applet below dynamically illustrates how to plot a point (x, y) in the coordinate plane. [br][br][b][color=#9900ff]Use the purple slider to choose an x-coordinate.[/color][/b][br][b][color=#1e84cc]Use the blue slider to choose a y-coordinate.[/color] [/b][br][br]Select the [b][color=#38761d]Plot Point[/color][/b] button to plot this point in the coordinate plane.
Slope: Interactive Introduction
Directions:
Use the interactive coordinate plane to learn about slope. Move the points around and see what happens to the numbers in the slope. [br][br]Pay special attention to when the slope is a whole number.
Where in the ratio is the value of the [b]rise[/b] (green line)?
Where in the ratio is the value of the [b]run[/b] (red line)?
Always make sure to ________ the fraction is possible?
Blueprint Equation of a Line
Use the applet to recognize the patterns of graphing a linear equation. With the link below, you will be provided some practice in understanding the foundation of slope intercept form. You can either print the document or copy it down on a separate sheet of paper.[br][br][color=#0000ff][url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hyswsg4441bG2kHnj_Qy9iaVs9W0oEWdH1SngdrjFLM/edit?usp=sharing]Blueprint Equation of a Non-Vertical Line[/url] <------ This is the link[/color]
Horizontal and Vertical Translations
Directions:
Below you will be experimenting with horizontal and vertical translations. You will have to pay close attention to the line and the values of h and k. [br][br]Use the sliders to come to a conclusion about how h and k will translate the line.
Horizontal and Vertical Translations.
Does the value of h show a horizontal or vertical translation?
Does the value of k show a horizontal or vertical translation?
