Moving Straight Ahead Unit Test

Essential Learnings - students should know how to:

• Translate information about linear relationships given a table, a graph, or an equation to one of the other forms.

• Solve problems and make decisions about linear relationships using information given in tables, graphs, and equations.

Additionally students should be able to:

• Construct tables, graphs and symbolic equations.
• Recognize linear relationships
• Solve an equation for an unknown.
• Find x or y when you substitute in the other value in an equation.
• Find the slope of a line given two points on a line or given an equation.
• Find point of intersection of two lines given a graph, a table or two equations.
• Find y-intercept when given an equation.
• Be able to use and understand the vocabulary terms we have learned in class such as linear relationship, point of intersection, y-intercept, slope, coefficient, rise, run, horizontal, vertical, coordinate pair, etc.

Focus questions/ problems - students should study by reviewing & redoing the following:

• The packet with 20 practice problems solving for x.
• These specific sections from the Moving Straight Ahead book; Problem 1.2, Problem 1.3, Problem 3.4, Problem 3.5 & Problem 4.2.
