This post explains and gives practice opportunities related to TEKS A.2G:
write an equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to the X or Y axis and determine whether the slope of the line is zero or undefined;
Instruction
Lines that are parallel to a given axis can be described by their opposite coordinate. For example, a line parallel to the x-axis can be described by its y-coordinate (e.g., y = 4). Vertical lines (parallel to y-axis) have an undefined slope and horizontal lines (parallel to x-axis) have a slope of 0.
STAAR Practice
Between 2016 and 2024 (including redesign practice), this supporting standard has been tested 6 times on the STAAR test. Videos explaining the problems can be found below.
