1. Objectives: Represent linear patterns with equations. Represent linear equations with graphs. Standards Addressed: 2.8.8.G: Represent relationships with tables or graphs in the coordinate plane and verbal or symbolic rules. 2.8.8.A: Apply simple algebraic patterns to basic number theory and to spatial relations.

4.  When the graph is a straight line, the equation is called a linear equation.  In the equation d = 53t, t is the independent variable, and d is the dependent variable.  On a graph, the independent variable is represented on the horizontal axis and the dependent variable is represented on the vertical axis.
