Outcomes

8.4.A

Use similar right triangles to develop an understanding that slope, m, given as the rate comparing the change in y-values to the change in x-values, (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1), is the same for any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) on the same line

8.5.A

Represent linear proportional situations with tables, graphs, and equations in the form of y = kx
