2. Properties of equalities:
A Use, identify algebraic property to justify steps in an equation solving process
Properties of equalities:
Distributive property—multiply each item in the parenthesis by the item outside the parenthesis
3(x + 4) = 3x +12
Associative property—changing grouping
3 + (4 + 5) = (3 + 4) + 5
Commutative property—changing order
3 + 4 = 4 + 3
Primary RULE of equalities
Whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other

3. Properties of equalities:
A Use, identify algebraic property to justify steps in an equation solving process
Properties of equalities:

A Interpret solutions to problems in the context of the problem situation (linear)
James rents a car for $45 a day(x) plus $.20 a mile (y). He spent $165 renting the car. The equation below represents the relationship between the number of days a car is rented and the number of miles driven during this time.
45x + .20y = 165

11. Given: 5x + 2y = 18 2x + y = 8 Solve by graphing:
A Write/solve a system of linear equations through graphing , substitution, and elimination. (limited to 2 linear equations)
Given:
5x + 2y = 18

14. A1.1.2. 2.2 Interpret solutions to problems in context of situation (2 linear equations)
A delivery truck arrives at Roberts’ store with 8 small boxes and 5 large boxes. The total charge for the boxes, without tax or delivery charges, is $184. A large box costs $3 more than a small box. What is the cost of each size box.
Follow the ROPES
Organize:
Let x = small
y = large
Plan:
8x + 5y = 184
y = x + 3
Which option for solving would be best?
Evaluate:
Use substitution
8x + 5y = 184
y = x + 3
8x + 5(x + 3) = 184
8x + 5x + 15 = 184
13x + 15 = 184
13x = 169
x = 13
y = x + 3
y =
y = 16
Sythesize (i.e. answer the question):
Small boxes cost $13 and large boxes cost $16.

15. Example 2

16. Which of the following are linear and why?
The standard form of a line is ax + by = c
Ex. xy = 4
is not linear because x & y multiplied together
Ex. x2 + y = 4
is not linear because exponent > 1
Ex. 3x + 2y = -7
is linear actually written in standard form

17. Slope Intercept Form of a Line
y = mx + b
m = the slope of the line
b = the y-intercept of the line or where the line crosses the y-axis.

18. Example 3
Given the equation y = -5x + ½, identify the slope and y-intercept and describe what they both represent.
Answer:
The slope is always the number in front of x so the slope is
-5. Since it is a negative number the line must go down to the right.
The y-intercept of ½ which means the line crosses the y-axis at ½ or at the point (0, ½).

19. Standard Form vs. Slope-Intercept Form
If you are given an equation that isn’t in slope-intercept form, solve for y so that it is.
Ex. Identify the slope in the following equation.
2x + 3y = 6

20. Example 4
Paula catches 2 fish per day during a family fishing trip. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the length of fishing trip (d) and the total number of fish caught (f).
Answer:
f = 2d + 0
2 fish per day and none before they arrived

21. Finding equations for lines
Given the slope (m) and the y-intercept b
Use the slope intercept form:
Y = mx + b
Ex.
If the slope = ½ and the y –intercept is -3 the equation of the line is:
y = 1/2x – 3

22. Example
Sometimes the keystones will challenge you to recognize simple problems in a unique format:
What is the y-intercept:
What is the slope:

23. Example – Slope Intercept Form
Find the equation for a line that has a slope of -½ and goes through the point (2, 6).
Therefore m = -½ the point (2, 6)
(x, y)
y = mx + b
6 = -½(2) + b
6 = -1 + b
7 = b
EQUATION IS y = -½x + 7

24. Point Slope Formula y – y1 = m(x – x1)
You need a point (x1, y1) and the slope.
After substituting, solve the equation for y to place it in slope—intercept form.
Ex. Find the line where m = 2 and containing the point (3, -4)

25. Example – Point Slope Form
Find the equation of the line that has a slope of -½ and goes through the point (2, 6) using point slope form, convert to slope intercept form to graph
m = -½ the point (2, 6)
(x1, y1)
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – 6 = -½(x – 2)
y – 6 = -½x + 1
y = -½x + 7

26. Practice Use point slope form to find
Find the equation for the line that goes through the points (-10, 3)(-4, 6).

27. Tips for answering MC questions when given the graph:
Look for the y-intercept first as you will probably be able to rule out some choices.
Look at the slope to see if it is positive or negative.
Can always try to count out the slope.
Can always pick 2 points on your line, find the slope then use y = mx + b to write the equation!
Convert all forms to y = mx + b because it is easy to pick out the slope and y-intercept from this form.

29. Example 6
A juice machine dispenses the same amount of juice into a cup each time the machine is used. The equation x + 12y = 240 describes the relationship between the number of cups (x) into which juice is dispensed and the gallons of juice (y) remaining in the machine. How many gallons of juice are in the machine when it is full?
