This cache has been archived.

Moorephun: Had a tip from Bonefixer about construction in the area. Made a trip out there and could not find the container (it might be buried). I'll archive this one and put out a new one soon.

Algebra I Part I: Slope

If you go to the posted coordinates you’ll wind up in my 9th grade Algebra class. So, stop the texting and take out some scrap paper.

To find the coordinates of the cache answer the following questions.

38 ABCDE 77 FGHIJ

A. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 6) and (3, 8).

B. What is the slope of the line below?

C. What is the initial condition of the following line in standard form

2x + 3y = 18

D. Given the graph below, what is the apparent slope?

E. If the given equation y = 2x + 10 is shifted down two spaces what is the new equation?

E = the y-intercept of this new equation.

F. If the slope of the equation y = -2x + 3 is increased by 6, what is the new value of ‘m’?

G. Given the graph below, what is the zero?

H. Given the function f(x) = 2x – 1 with the abscissa of 3, what is the ordinate?

I. What is the cube root of three raised to the third power?

J. What is the range of the apparent solution to the following intersection?
