2.0 Students understand and use such operations as taking the opposite, finding the reciprocal, taking a root, and raising to a fractional power. They understand and use the rules of exponents. 3.0 Students solve equations and inequalities involving absolute values. 5.0 Students solve multistep problems, including word problems, involving linear equations and linear inequalities in one variable and provide justification of each step. 7.0 Students verify that a point lies on a line, given an equation of the line.
Students are able to derive linear equations by using the point-slope formula.
8.0 Students understand the concepts of parallel lines and perpendicular lines and how those slopes are related. Students are able to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point. 9.0 Students solve a system of two linear equations in two variables algebraically and are able to interpret the answer graphically. Students are able to solve a system of two linear inequalities in two variables and to sketch the solution sets. 10.0 Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials.
