4. The Meaning of Slope and y-Intercept in the Context of Word Problems - explanation from Purple Math
5. Practice Converting Linear Equations into Slope-Intercept Form - [11 slides] this show provides several opportunities for student practice - Expanded version of this show [25 slides]
6. Rate of Change: Connecting Slope to Real Life - a lesson on using slope to find the rate of change accompanied by graphs and explanations
7. Rate of Change Practice Problems - nine practice problems (including a graph to interpret) followed by an answer key
8. Slope-Intercept Form - [12 slides] this show uses animation very effectively, provides examples and the chance for student response and invludes a great real-world application of slope-intercept
