Questions

1. Move point B to the right, so slope m  = 1 .
   Where is the point now?
     
2. Move point A down to (0,0), and move point B to (6,3) .  What is the slope now?
     
3. Now that A is at (0,0), try different locations for B and write down the Slope.
     B Coordinates    Slope (m)
         (2,8)               2
         (8,2)            _____
         (1,5)            _____
         (4,6)            _____
   Looking at your values, which of these statements appears to be true?
      
     
4. Now move point A to (2,1).  Make a table like that in #3 (above).  Observing your table, which of these appears to be true?
