  4. Thanks. Here are some notes about these.

    Notice these contain good action verbs and can be written as test questions.

    The slope can be found using y=mx+b or by using two ordered pairs from the line. Both will be objectives in an algebra course. Also students will need to interpret slope and use it to measure of a rate of change.

    The vertex can be found using the graphing calculator and using x=-b/2a then plugging in to find y.
