Linear Equation Forms

Objectives:
Students will explain and use methods to convert between point-slope, standard, and slope-intercept form and decide when and how to use each one.

NCTM Standards:
Students write equivalent forms of equations and solve them with fluency—mentally or with paper and pencil in simple cases. Students understand the meaning of equivalent forms of expressions, equations, and relations. Students use symbolic algebra to represent and explain mathematical relationships.

California Content Standards:
(7.0) Students are able to derive linear equations by using the point-slope formula.
