"A linear equation in two variables can be used to represent a constraint or condition on two variable quantities in situations where neither of the variables is regarded as an input or an output. A linear equation can also be used to represent a straight line in the coordinate plane." "Make connections between: » an algebraic representation and a graph of a linear equation in two variables not in context. » a table and an algebraic representation or between a table and a graph of a linear equation in two variables not in context." "Interpret the graph of a linear equation in the form Ax + By = C in a context."

What you'll learn

  1. Treat slope-intercept, point-slope, and standard form as one line written three ways, and read the slope and a point on the line from whichever form is given, without converting
  2. Read a point and the slope directly from point-slope form, handling the sign convention correctly
  3. Extract the slope from standard form using the `-A/B` shortcut
  4. Convert an equation among all three forms
  5. Choose the form best suited to the information a question supplies
