Solving & Graphing Contextual (Real Life) Linear Equations From Standard Form
This worksheet helps students write and solve real life linear equations given two variables and different scenarios. Students have to create an equation (written in standard form), and then graph the equation by finding the intercepts (I find this the easiest way for students to graph linear problems given a standard form equation). Students can convert the equation to slope intercept if they want to (I had a couple do this), but most prefer the intercept method. After graphing the line, studen
