ETC > NSA Home > Language Arts 9-12 > Graphing Linear Equations and Slopes Graphing Linear Equations and Slopes Students will use Grapher software to graph linear equations and slopes. Objectives Students will explore the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines and parallel lines Procedure Students try to write the equations of two parallel lines and then two perpendicular lines. Students graph the lines using the Grapher program to check their work, they then try to adjust their equations accordingly. Students write a learning log entry about what changing the slope of the line will do to the appearance of the graph and about the relationship between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.
