Texas A&M University
Wtamu Virtual Math Lab: College Algebra: Graphing Lines
Complete this tutorial to learn how to graph a straight line if given the y-intercept and slope and how to graph horizontal and vertical lines. View examples of lines with different slopes, and practice working with slope-intercept form.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Implicit Differentiation
Students differentiate an equation in two variables with respect to one. They calculate points where the tangent line is horizontal, vertical, or oblique and use the graphing capacity of the TI-89 to display the graph of the implicit...
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: G Gpe.5 Triangles Inscribed in Circle
In this task, students use ideas about linear functions to determine when certain angles are right angles. They use the fact that two lines (if not vertical or horizontal) are perpendicular when their slopes are inverse reciprocals, as...

This site from the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center, Syracuse University has a very substantial discussion of math topics slope & line equations. The outline form is quite useful if you need to zero in on one aspect of...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Linear Functions: Slope With Grid
Students learn to impose a grid on a line to quantify the steepness of a line. They learn that slope is the ratio of vertical change divided by the horizontal change. They also learn that lines can have slope that are positive, zero,...
