Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Identify properties of a function on a graph (e.g., slope, increasing or decreasing, where does it cross the x- and y-axis).
- Identify if a function exists given a table.
- Given an equation, determine the slope.
- Given the graphs of two simple linear equations, compare the slopes to determine if they are equivalent.
