Chapter One

1.1 Learning Targets

� Represent and interpret linear relations in words, tables, graphs, or equations

� Makes connections among the representations of linear relations

� Classifies direct variations, linear relationships that are not direct variations, and nonlinear relationships

� Describes situations that can be represented by increasing or decreasing linear relationships


1.2 Learning Targets

� Understands slope as the constant rate of change in a line

� Calculates slope as a ratio of rise/run (as change of y over change of x)

� Understands how a change of scale (window settings) can affect the appearance of the graph of a line with or    without the use of a graphing calculator

� Writes the equation of a line when two points are known or when the slope and one point are known


1.3 Learning Targets

� Determine if two lines are parallel based on their slopes

� Determines if three points are collinear

� Determines if an equation can be written in the form y=mx+b as a test for linearity

� Plots a set of data, identifies outliers, and draws a line of best fit (with graphing calculators)
