standard_description: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Suppose $P_1 = (0,5)$ and $P_2 = (3,−3)$. Sketch $P_1$ and
$P_2$. For which real numbers $m$ and $b$ does the graph of a linear function described by the equation $f(x) = mx+b$ contain $P_1$? Explain. Do any of these graphs also contain $P_2$? Explain.
Suppose $P_1 = (0,5)$ and $P_2 = (0,7)$.  Sketch $P_1$ and $P_2$.  Are there real numbers $m$ and $b$ for which the graph of a linear function described by the equation $f(x)=mx+b$ contains $P_1$ and $P_2$? Explain.
Now suppose $P_1= (c,d)$ and $P_2 = (g,h)$ and $c$ is not equal to $g$. Show that there is only one real number $m$ and only one real number $b$ for which the graph of $f(x)=mx+b$ contains the points $P_1$ and $P_2$.
