Introduction
No matter what field you plan to study, you will need to be able to understand data that is presented to you in the form of tables, graphs, or equations. Spreadsheets are a great way to enter data in an organized way then represent as a graph.

Following successful completion of this lesson, students will be able to...
- Write the equation of a line in slope intercept given different information.
Enduring Understandings
- The characteristics of linear equations and their graphs are useful in solving real-world problems.
The above objectives correspond with the Alabama Course of Study: Geometry standards: prepares for 30 and 31, Algebra 1: 38.
