1. 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.

2. Cutting your Foldable…
CUT along the RED LINES ONLY!

3. 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

4. Filling in the INSIDE LEFT…
SLOPE FORMULA
y2 – y1 = m = rise
x2 – x 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

5. 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

6. After you have written the information, GRAPH!!!
