Remind students that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero, regardless of whether it is to the left or right of zero; for eample, = and + =. Ask a volunteer to order the three slopes graphed earlier b absolute value, from smallest to largest. (A, B, C) SAY: A steeper slope means a higher absolute value for the slope.

A line passes through the points A (, ) and B (, 9) and has slope. Find the value of. 9 - Solution: run = = 5, rise = 9, so slope = =. After cross multipling, -5 9 = 0 and = = 9. A line passes through A (, ) and has slope. Will the line pass through point B (7, )? Eplain. Answer: No, the line will not pass through point B. As the slope is, the run from point A to point B would be 7 ( ) = 0 and the rise would be 0 (because 0/0 = ), which means the line would pass through (7, + 0) or (7, ) rather than B (7, ). NOTE: The following etension is for advanced students onl. 0 = + = + 0 = = +. A line passes through A (, ) and B (k, k). a) Can ou determine a line for k =? b) What will the slope be for all other values of k? Solutions: a) No, k = gives point B (, ), which has the same coordinates as point A, and ou cannot use a single point to determine a line. b) rise = k ( ) = k + = (k ), run = k = (k ), so the slope for all other -( k -) - values of k will be = =-.5 ( k -) Teacher s Guide for AP Book 8.
