Linear Functions Foldable
Putting it all together - how do we tell the difference
between slope-intercept, point slope, and standard form?
INSTRUCTIONS
On the following pages you are going to see different titles of
items relating to the three different forms of linear functions. On
each page there are the three names of the forms of linear
functions: slope-intercept, point slope, and standard form. You
will also find different text boxes with information relating to one
of the three functions.
TASK: On each page you will need to identify with which form of
the linear function the text box relates to. Move the text box to
fit underneath the correct form.
Read the three definitions below and move the text
DEFINITIONS boxes underneath the correct form of a linear
function.
