Today we learned how to find the slope (also known as rate of change) from an equation in Lesson 3.4. We learned that when an equation is written in slope-intercept form, the coefficient in front of the variable xrepresents the slope. To find the slope, all we have to do is rewrite any equation in slope-intercept form!

Homework: Fix last night's homework (key below) andtextbook pgs 179-180 (#3, 4, 5, 7)
