CITY MAP PROJECT

Your Name ________________________________

Name of your City ___________________________________

Objectives:
1. Graph a line given the slope and a point
2. Graph a line given two points
3. Graph Parallel and Perpendicular lines
4. Graph Geometrical Figures on a coordinate Plane
5. Identify Slope and Y-intercept
6. Write the equation of a line.

Materials Needed​:
● Graph Paper
● Pencils!
● Marker, Crayons, or Colored Pencils
● Rulers
● Brain and Creative Juices: Most Important

Essential Questions:

1. Define Slope in your own words.

2. Describe the different parts of a linear equation.

3. Explain the relationship of two lines that are parallel?

4. Explain the relationship of two lines that are perpendicular?

5. How could you use the knowledge of linear equations in the real world?

Submit the answers to the above questions along with your map.

 Create a City Map: Follow All Directions:

1. Draw a four quadrant grid and number your ‘x’ and ‘y’ axis.
x-max = 22
x-min = -22
y-max = 32
y-min = -32

2. Label your ‘x’ and ‘y’ axis

3. Place a point at the origin and label it (0,0)
4. Main Street runs through the points (6,8) and (-2,-8)
a. Plot the two points and draw the line. (Draw the line out to the end of the graph.
b. Using rise over run, find the slope and y-intercept: Write it on the street.
m = ____ b = ____
c. Also, write the equation of the line in slope intercept form on the street.
d. Label your street name. (Big Enough that it can be Read)

5. Washington Avenue runs parallel to Main Street and runs through the point (4,-4).
a. plot the point (4,-4) and draw the line that is parallel to Main Street using the same slope of
main street. Remember parallel lines have the same slope.
b. Write the slope and y-intercept on the street.
c. Also, write the equation of the line in slope intercept form on the street.
d. Label you street name.

7. Sandy Springs Road is Perpendicular to Washington Avenue. It also runs through the point (8,0).
a. Plot the point (8,0) and draw a line that is perpendicular to Washington Avenue using slopes
that are negative reciprocals.
b. Write the slope and Y-intercept on the street.
c. Also, write the equation of the line in slope intercept form on the street.
d. Label your street name.

8. A circle as a lake with a diameter of 8: named Lake Nelson. Draw and Label your Lake.

9. Harris Avenue that has a slope of 0:

Draw and Label your street, don’t forget to put the slope, y-intercept, and equation on the line.

10. Shepard Drive is just another street that is on your city that has a negative slope.
Draw and Label your street, don’t forget to put the slope, y-intercept, and equation on the line.

11. Louis Armstrong Park is a rectangle on your map. Draw and Label your Park.

12. Jackson Street’s Slope is undefined: Draw and Label your street, don’t forget to put the, x-intercept,
and equation on the line. (This line is different because it will never cross the y-axis)!

13. Pollard Place is a luxury apartment building: It is in the form of a pentagon. Draw and label this
building.

Other Items to Add: (Small icons or symbols, polygons are good to use. Use your imagination!)

● Police Station ● Airport Near a body of water

● Court House ● Post Office
● Town Hall ● Highway!
● Bank ● Waste Water Treatment Plant
● Restaurant ● Public Housing
● School
● College
● Mall/Shopping Center
● Housing Neighborhood

14. Make ​Your Map’s Name Bold, Bright, and Obvious!​ Follow the
Instructions and be as creative as possible.

15. Have Fun!

After you have ​completely finished in pencil​,​ put labels in color and decorate 
everything! 
 
 
 

Checklist:

1. Did you follow all the instructions?

2. Did you answer the 5 essential questions?
3. Did you use a lot of colours?
4. Did you name your city?
5. Did you write the equations (slope-intercept form) on all lines?
6. Did you label all the places?
7. Did you check the spellings in the map?
8. Did you attach the answers to the questions along with your map?
9. Did you take a deep breath? If not, do it right now!

Looking forward to your amazing city map!!!
