Identifying parallel and perpendicular lines from equations

This shows how to transform all given equation that are not in slope-intercept form and then pick out the slopes of all three given lines and compare them to see if they are parallel, perpendicular…

Finding the vertex, intercepts, and axis of symmetry from a graph of a parabola

This gives a graph of a parabola which is the graph of a quadratic equation or function. The demonstration first includes classifying it as a parabola that is opening downward or upward. Then it…

Graphing a linear inequality in the plane: Slope-intercept form

Shows how to determine the boderline separating the side of the x-y graph that has true solutions from the side that does not. It is then shown how to decide whether that line should be dotted or…
