Linear Equations as Models
Big Idea: Linear equations in slope intercept form and
in standard form are used to write equations that represent real‐life
situations. Graphing will also lead to solving linear systems of equations and
inequalities.
Objectives of the Unit:
• Students correctly recognize how rate and value are
represented in an equation and a graph.
• Students accurately understand how the standard form of an equation for a line
is used to model situations.
• Students correctly change standard form to slope‐intercept form.
• Students describe slopes and write equations for horizontal and vertical
lines.
• Students can use two points to write an equation for a line.
• Students can use one point and the slope to write an equation for a line.
• Students can find the point where two lines intersect.
• Students graph linear inequalities on a coordinate plane.
• Students solve problems by writing and graphing systems of inequalities.
Student Outcomes:
M1.1.A Select and justify functions and equations to model
and solve problems.
M1.1.B Solve problems that can be represented by linear functions, equations and
inequalities.
M1.2.B Represent a function with a symbolic expression, as a graph, in a table,
and using words, and make connections
among these representations.
M1.3.B Describe how changes in the parameters of linear functions and functions
containing an absolute value of a linear
expression affect their graphs and the relationships they represent.
M1.3.D Write and graph an equation for a line given the slope and the
y‐intercept, the slope and a point on the line, or two points on the line, and
translate between forms of linear equations.
M1.3.E Write and solve systems of two linear equations and inequalities in two
variables.
M1.3.H Determine the equation of a line in the coordinate plane that is
described geometrically, including a line through two given points, a line
through a given point parallel to a given line, and a line through a given point
perpendicular to a given line.
M1.8.A Analyze a problem situation and represent it mathematically.
