# Linear Equations, Inequalities and Systems

## Objective

Identify the solutions and features of a linear equation and when two linear equations have the same solutions.

## Common Core Standards

### Core Standards

?

• A.REI.D.10 — Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

• A.SSE.B.3 — Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression. Modeling is best interpreted not as a collection of isolated topics but in relation to other standards. Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star symbol (★). The star symbol sometimes appears on the heading for a group of standards; in that case, it should be understood to apply to all standards in that group.

## Criteria for Success

?

1. Identify that the solutions to a line are only those that are on the graph of the line or can be substituted into a linear equation to produce a true statement.
2. Show algebraically that a point is either on the graph of a line or not on the graph of a line.
3. Manipulate a linear equation to show that it has the same solutions as an original equation.
