• To introduce new algebraic concepts

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

• By dividing the x-values by the y-values

• By multiplying the x and y values

• By adding the x-values

• By subtracting the y-values and dividing by the change in x

What is the x-intercept of a line?

• Where the line is horizontal

• Where the line crosses the y-axis

• Where the x-value is zero

• Where the y-value is zero

What is the result of combining like terms in the expression 7x^2 + 3x + 12 + 3x + 2?
