earth as God’s creation each step.
6.0 Students graph a linear equation and compute the x-
and y-intercepts (e.g., graph 2x + 6y = 4). They are also
able to sketch the region defined by linear inequality
(e.g., they sketch the region defined by 2x + 6y < 4).
7.0 Students verify that a point lies on a line, given an
equation of the line. Students are able to derive linear
equations by using the point-slope formula.
