Nov.+8-Nov.+12

=Goals for 11/8 to 11/12:= Finding the slope of a line. Learning Targets: 1. I can find the slope of a line. 2. I can find the slope between two coordinates. Cautions: 1. BE SURE TO RISE FIRST BEFORE YOU RUN. 2. AFTER YOU RISE, IF YOU RUN TO THE RIGHT YOUR SLOPE IS POSITIVE AND IF YOU RUN TO THE LEFT YOUR SLOPE IS NEGATIVE. 3. MAKE SURE WHEN USEING THE SLOPE FORMULA, YOU PLACE YOUR "Y'S" IN THE NUMERATOR AND THE "X'S" IN THE DENOMINATOR. 4. WHEN USING A CALCULATOR, I WILL PUT NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR IN PARENTHESIS.
 * I will be able to find the slope between two coordinates on a coordinate plane by using rise over run.
 * I will be able to identify the slope of a line as being positive or negative.
 * I will be able to identify the slope of a horizontail line and a vertical line as being 0 or undefined.
 * I will be able to find the slope between two coordinates using the math formula with change in y's over change in x's.
 * I will be able to solve the slope formula using the calculator correctly.
