Unit 5 Skills Review

[Back]

You will be required to demonstrate a mastery of the following skills on the Unit 5 Test.

1)  Know your linear equation FORMS!

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Standard form: Ax + By = C

2)  Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form 
( y = mx + b ) given the slope and the y-intercept.

3)  Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form given the graph of the line in the coordinate plane.

see   lesson

4)  Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form given a point and the slope; i.e. point-slope form... y - y1 = m(x - x1).  Sketch the graph.

5)  Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form given two points:
Step 1) find the slope and then
Step 2) use point-slope form
Step 3) Sketch the graph

see   lesson

6)  Convert linear equations from slope-intercept form to standard form ( Ax + By = C ) and vice versa.

see lesson

7) Construct a scatter plot from a table of data and estimate a best-fitting line.  Write an equation for the best-fitting line in either slope-intercept or standard form.

8) Solve REAL WORLD problems in two variables using a coordinate plane graph.  Define your variables, sketch a graph and write an equation in slope-intercept or standard form.
