Linear Equations Foldable Instructions Step 1: Fold your piece of paper like a hotdog. Step 2: Unfold. Step 3: Fold your paper like a hamburger. Step 4: Fold your paper two more times in the same direction, making 4 equal sections.

Cutting your Foldable… CUT along the RED LINES ONLY!

Filling in the FRONT of the Foldable… GIVEN 2 points on a line, and you are looking for slope GIVEN The slope and y-intercept The slope and a point GIVEN The slope and a point GIVEN An equation to convert into standard form

Filling in the INSIDE LEFT… SLOPE FORMULA y2 – y1 = m = rise x2 – x1 run SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM y = mx + b POINT SLOPE FORM y2 – y1 = m (x2 – x1) STANDARD FORM Ax + By = C “A” must be positive and a non-fraction

Filling in the INSIDE RIGHT… Example: (-6, 7) and (-4, 11) Example: 1 m = ¼ and b = -5 Example: 2 m = -3 and (4, -2) After you have written the examples, SOLVE!!! Example: m = ½ and (-8, 2) Example: 1 ½ x + 8y = 12 Example: 2 3y = 4x + 9

After you have written the information, GRAPH!!! Filling in the BACK of the Foldable… Graph: Graph: (include both lines) After you have written the information, GRAPH!!! Graph: Name:__________ Date:___________ Block:__________
