1. Forms of a Line

2. The Murchison Middle School NJHS is selling t-shirts and caps to raise money for their DC trip. They earn a profit of $5 per shirt and $10 per cap.
Find 5 pairs of numbers for shirt and cap sales that will allow the students to make exactly $600 profit.

3. The Murchison Middle School NJHS is selling t-shirts and caps to raise money for their DC trip. They earn a profit of $5 per shirt and $10 per cap.
The values you found can be expressed as an ordered pair (s, c). Plot these ordered pairs on a grid, with shirts as x and caps as y.

4. The Murchison Middle School NJHS is selling t-shirts and caps to raise money for their DC trip. They earn a profit of $5 per shirt and $10 per cap.
Write the equation of the line on your graph in slope intercept form, y=mx+b.
What do “m” and “b” mean in this problem?

5. The Murchison Middle School NJHS is selling t-shirts and caps to raise money for their DC trip. They earn a profit of $5 per shirt and $10 per cap.
Write the equation of the line on your graph in point-slope form, y-y1 = m(x-x1).
What do “m” and “(x1, y1)” mean in this problem?

6. The Murchison Middle School NJHS is selling t-shirts and caps to raise money for their DC trip. They earn a profit of $5 per shirt and $10 per cap.
A more meaningful equation for this problem would be: 5s + 10c = 600.
What do the 5, 10, and 600 mean in this problem situation?
How can you use this to find other solutions?

7. Notes Standard Form: Ax + By = C Rule 1: A is always positive
Rule 2: A, B, and C are always whole numbers.
A, B, and C are not anything “algebraic” but are important information in the problem.
Standard form does not show
slope
intercepts
points

Students are selling calendars for $3 each and posters for $2 each. They want to sell a total of $100 worth of products.
Write an equation using p, for posters, and c for calendars.
Use your equation to answer the question: How many posters must they sell if they have already sold 20 calendars?
