Students have worked on writing linear equations from given information and from given contexts. The identification of x and y intercepts along with slope and direction of the line are important results of our learning in the current unit of study.

Students should be able to answer the following questions:

  • What is the difference between a positive and a negative slope?
  • What key words indicate that the number is related to slope?
  • What key words indicate that the number is related to the starting value or y-intercept?
  • How do I graph this information?
