PARTNER ACTIVITY

TRADE PAPERS!

2. Graph the line your partner described.

PARTNER ACTIVITY

TRADE!

Does your partner’s graph match the one you were given?

If not, talk to your partner….what mistakes were made?

3. Write the equation of the line described.

PARTNER ACTIVITY

TRADE!

Do you agree with the equation of the line?

Talk to your partner if you disagree.

4. Write the equation of the line that is parallel thought the given point. Then graph that parallel line.

PARTNER ACTIVITY
