Topic options: 
A. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
B. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
C. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
D. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
E. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
F. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
G. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
H. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
I. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
J. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
K. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

problem_activity: Activity
In this activity, students find intercepts and slopes for pairs of equations. They should notice that the equations in each pair are multiples of one another and therefore are equivalent equations. Students look for and make use of structure (MP7) when they notice the relationships between the pairs of equations.
Launch
Ask students what they remember about
\(x\)
- and
\(y\)
-intercepts. One useful thing to remember is that the
\(x\)
-intercept of a graph occurs where the
\(y\)
-coordinate is zero. (Demonstrate using a graph, if needed.) So, to find the
\(x\)
-intercept of a graph representing an equation, you can replace
\(y\)
with 0 and solve the equation for
\(x\)
. (And vice versa to find the
\(y\)
-intercept.)
Ask students how they can use two points like
\((1,0)\)
and
\((0,8)\)
to find the slope of a line. (Using a formula like
\(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)
, or a less-formal version like “subtract the y’s, subtract the x’s, then divide.
”
For this example the slope is -8 since
\(\frac{8 - 0}{0-1} = \text{-}8\)
.)
Student Facing
Here are some equations in pairs. For each equation:
Find the
\(x\)
-intercept and
\(y\)
-intercept of a graph of the equation.
Find the slope of a graph of the equation.
\(x + y = 6\)
and
\(2x + 2y = 12\)
\(3y - 15x = \text{-}33\)
and
\(y - 5x = \text{-}11\)
\(5x + 20y = 100\)
and
\(4x + 16y = 80\)
\(3x - 2y = 10\)
and
\(4y - 6x = \text{-}20\)
What do you notice about the pairs of equations?
Choose one pair of equations and rewrite them into slope-intercept form (
\(y = mx + b\)
). What do you notice about the equations in this form?

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of the discussion is to show that equations that are multiples of one another will have graphs with the same intercepts and slope. Select students to share their solutions and methods for finding the intercepts and slope as well as things they notice. While students may notice many things, ensure it is mentioned that in each pair of equations, one is a multiple of the other.
Some questions for discussion:
"How would the graphs of each pair of equations look?" (Each graph would look like a single line since the two equations are equivalent. Time permitting, demonstrate this using graphing technology.)
"Select a pair of equations. Find another equation whose graph would have the same slope and intercepts as the pair already given." (Another multiple of either equation will work.)
