Writing Equations of Linear Functions (A) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: Algebra I, IM 1
CCSS: 8.F.B.4, HSA.CED.A.2
CCSS Description: Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

Writing Equations of Linear Functions (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet will see your learners finding the slope, y-intercept, and equations of straight line graphs, and between two points. They will also draw graphs from equations without using a table of values to generate coordinates.
In section A, students are faced with ten straight line graphs on individual axes. They will calculate the slope and find the y intercept before writing out the equation of each straight line. Section B is similar, but also includes two questions where only two points on a graph are given. Then in section C, students will draw five graphs from their equations, and are encouraged to do so only using the y intercept and slope.
Slopes are integer and fractional, positive and negative.
