Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! The figure is made up of squares. The side of a larger square is bisected by the vertices of the square that is one size smaller. What are the values of a, b, and c? Hint: The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle equals the smaller side times the square root of 2.

Review Lesson 5-5: Identify the form of each equation.

  • slope-intercept form
  • point-slope form
  • standard form
  • none of these
  • 5x + 3y = 21
  • y = -7x + 1
  • x = 5 + 3y
  • y = -9(x + 2)

Review Lesson 5-5: Match each equation from the left column with its equivalent standard form equation in the right column.

  • y = 4x + 7
  • y + 3 = 2(x - 5)
  • x = 6y + 3
  • 2y + 4x = 8
  • -2x + y = -13
  • x - 6y = 3
  • -4x + y = 7
  • 4x + 2y = 8
