Linear Functions

Description

This image focuses on Step 3 of using the slope formula: "Assign Values to Formula." It shows how to substitute the actual coordinate values into the slope formula, preparing for the calculation of the slope.

Teachers can guide students through this step by saying: "Now that we've matched our coordinates to the formula, let's plug in the actual values. We'll replace x₁, y₁, x₂, and y₂ with the numbers from our coordinates. Be careful to keep track of positive and negative signs. Why is it important to be precise in this step? Here we focus on x₁ and y₁."
