  1. Solve a linear equation in one unknown - e.g. Page 73-74 Problems:2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 21, 22, 23
  2. On a graph (two dimensional coordinate system) draw appropriate lines to illustrate the following concepts: y-intercept and x-intercept; horizontal line at y=3 (or other particular number); and vertical line at x=2 (or other particular number). Be sure to label each line indicating which concept it is demonstrating.
  3. On a graph, illustrate the concept of slope.
  4. Write the equation of a line given the type of information in Exercises 19-22; 23-26; and 29-32 on page 99.
  5. Sketch a graph for lines with the type of equations given in Excercises 1-6, 11-18 on Page 99
