Linear Equation Intersections - Intro

This math unit begins with the foundational concept of identifying y-intercepts from linear equations in slope-intercept and standard forms using integer coefficients. As the unit progresses, it introduces the concept of x-intercepts, requiring students to manipulate equations set to zero in either variable while still using integer values. The complexity increases as the unit shifts to equations involving decimal coefficients. This additional challenge tests the students' ability to work with more precise values and enhances their algebraic manipulation skills. Towards the end of the unit, the focus shifts to finding intersection points between different types of lines including horizontal, vertical, and other linear equations demonstrating both integer and decimal solutions. This progression from basic intercept identification to solving for intersections between various lines helps students understand the graphical behavior of linear equations and their points of intersection.Skills you will learn include:
