Murder Mystery (Finding Slopes)

Fabulous - thank you!

My students will love doing this.

I love these. Greatt for revision and definitely not boring.

I was struggling to make graphs engaging, this is exactly the kind of thing I needed, thankyou for sharing :-)

great resource, made it fun!!!

great thanks for sharing

Thank you! Looking forward to using it!

Thank you - looks great!

This looks amazing! Anyone that has done this before, do you know what the answers are?

Absolutely loved this activity. Just what I need for my advanced students.

Thank you for sharing. My French students will appreciate !

This was a great short activity for me to do at the end of a unit. It did not take an extended amount of time and was easy to complete. The kids LOVED the mystery concept.

My students love activities with a purpose. This will engage them in the standard and fun at the same time.

Excellent activity that encompasses not only identifying ordered pairs, but slope of a line, perpendicular lines, y-intercept, and equations of a line. Great fun. Thank you!

Decent, I changed my version to make the reason more fun.

What a great idea to practice concepts of slope. My students will love this fun activity for review

I wish I had found this sooner! Thank you for sharing.

Fun Lesson!

I do have a question about the "Where" part of the assignment. If the line y = 2x - 5 is to be graphed, I don't see how any of the coordinates could add up to be 8.5. The slope of the line is 2, so the points would be: (0, -5) (1, -3) (2, -1) (3, 1) (4, 3) (5, 5). How do you figure 8.5?

Thanks!

Key

I am confused on the why, what is it suppose to spell?

This is something I will be able to use in multiple classes! Thank you for the resource.

I love this but I am missing the why? I can't figure out what it says.
