Unit D: Graphing
Direct Variation
At the top of every ski run in Banff is a sign with a symbol.
|
A green circle indicates runs with a slope gradient of less than 25% and is intended for novice skiers and snowboarders.
|
|
|
|
A blue square indicates runs with a slope gradient of 25% to 40% and is intended for intermediate skiers and snowboarders.
|
|
A black diamond indicates runs with a slope gradient of over 40% and is intended for expert skiers and snowboarders.

In this lesson, the slope, or the steepness of a line, will be determined for a linear relation.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to
- identify and describe the characteristics of linear relations represented by graphs, tables of values, number patterns, or equations
- relate slope, or rate of change, to a linear relation
- sketch the graph for a given table of values
- create a table of values for a given equation of a linear relation
- create a graph to represent a set of data
- write an equation for a direct variation relationship
- solve a problem that requires interpolation or extrapolation of data
