Lesson Plan

Slope-intercept, point-slope, and standard forms

Goals / Objectives

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept, point-slope or standard form from a slope and a point, two points, or a graph, and convert it among the three forms

Read the slope and $y$-intercept from an equation (the coefficient of $x$ in slope-intercept form, $-A/B$ in standard form) and use them to match the equation to its graph

Write the equation of a horizontal or vertical line ($y = k$ or $x = h$), and explain from the equation which way the line runs

Choose the form of a linear equation that reaches what a question asks for in the fewest steps
