# Linear Equations, Inequalities and Systems

## Objective

Write linear equations given features, points, or graph in standard form, point-slope form, and slope-intercept form.

## Common Core Standards

### Core Standards

?

• F.IF.B.4 — For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. Modeling is best interpreted not as a collection of isolated topics but in relation to other standards. Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star symbol (★). The star symbol sometimes appears on the heading for a group of standards; in that case, it should be understood to apply to all standards in that group.

• F.IF.C.7.A — Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.

• A.SSE.B.3 — Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

## Criteria for Success

?

1. Rearrange a linear equation to reveal the slope when an equation is given in standard form.
2. Substitute zeros for the appropriate variable to find the intercepts of a linear function.
3. Write a linear equation given features of the linear equation.
4. Graph a linear equation from all three forms of linear equation.

## Tips for Teachers

?

Ensure that students have the general forms of all three major forms of a linear equation (standard, slope-intercept, point-slope) in their notes by the end of this lesson.
