Student Statement
I understand that slope is a rate of change.
I can find the equation of a line (in y = mx + b form) given two points, a description, a table, or a graph.
Common Core Standards
SSE.A.1: Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.
CED.A.1: Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.
CED.A.2: Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
LE.A.2: Construct linear functions given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
LE.B.5: Interpret the parameters in a linear function in terms of a context.
The following are examples of mistakes that should give you an idea what types of mistakes I am looking for at each level. There are a variety of possible errors while solving problems like this, so this is not an exhaustive list.
As a reminder, here is the scale that is used in class to determine your ability level for each topic:
Below you can select between: using 2 points, a point and a slope, a table, or a situation. Use the information to find the equation of the line (in slope-intercept form).
