1.10.0 Lesson Overview

In this lesson, you will learn how the parameters and variables relate to features of the graphs of two-variable linear equations. In addition, you will think about how different forms of two-variable equations affect the information we could gain about the relationships between the quantities and about the graphs.

When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:

• Describe the connections between an equation of the form $ax+by=c$, the features of its graph, and the rate of change in the situation.
• Graph linear equations of the form $ax+by=c$.
• Demonstrate that rewriting the equation for a line in different forms can make it easier to find certain kinds of information about the relationship and about the graph.

Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals

• 1.10.1: Interpreting Equations in Context
• 1.10.2: Graphing Equations in Context
