Unit Test

Common Core Standards: 8.EE.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations 8.SP.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting slope and intercept 8.F.3 Interpret the equation y=mx+b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis

1. Describe how you can represent the information presented in a word problem as an equation, inequality, or system of equations or inequalities. How else could you represent these equations? 2. Use either substitution or combination to solve a system of equations. 3. Discuss how systems of equations and inequalities relate to real life. 4. Compare linear systems to linear inequalities. How are they similar? How are they different? 5. [Create your own question relating to the material you have learned during this unit that could be asked on the test]

Different forms of linear equations

Systems of equations

Real-life problems forming equations and inequalities Graph systems Match graphs to symbolic representations

Standard Form !" ! !" ! !

Can be manipulated into slope-intercept form Systems most often in this form

Slope-Intercept Form

! ! !" ! !

Most often seen in this form when graphing. Easier to graph when in this form Some systems are in this form

Solving for single variable in slope-intercept form Transforming from standard form to y= or x= to solve for single variable Solving using substitution o Sub one eqn. into the other Solving using combination o Getting two eqns so one variable is canceled out

Explain how real-life examples of equations, inequalities, and systems can relate to real-world data and statistics, which will be discussed in the next chapter. Explain how the skills you have learned throughout this unit can be applied to real-world data and statistics.
