8.AF.1: Solve linear equations and inequalities with rational number coefficients fluently, including those whose solutions require exp
AI.L.3: Represent linear functions as graphs from equations (with and without technology), equations from graphs, and equations from tables and other given information (e.g., from a given point on a line and the slope of the line). Find the equation of a line, passing through a given point, that is parallel or perpendicular to a given line.
AI.L.4: Represent real-world problems that can be modeled with a linear function using equations, graphs, and tables; translate fluently among these representations, and interpret the slope and intercepts.
AI.L.5: Translate among equivalent forms of equations for linear functions, including slope-intercept, point-slope, and standard. Recognize that different forms reveal more or less information about a given situation.
AII.PR.2: Graph relations and functions including polynomial, square root, and piecewise-defined functions (including step functions and absolute value functions) with and without technology. Identify and describe features, such as intercepts, zeros, domain and range, end behavior, and lines of symmetry.
AI.SEI.1: Understand the relationship between a solution of a system of two linear equations in two variables and the graphs of the corresponding lines. Solve pairs of linear equations in two variables by graphing; approximate solutions when the coordinates of the solution are non-integer numbers.
AI.SEI.2: Verify that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions, including cases with no solution and infinitely many solutions. Solve systems of two linear equations algebraically using elimination and substitution methods.
AI.SEI.3: Write a system of two linear equations in two variables that represents a real-world problem and solve the problem with and without technology. Interpret the solution and determine whether the solution is reasonable.
AI.SEI.4: Represent real-world problems using a system of two linear inequalities in two variables. Graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes with and without technology.
