Begin with the graph cards, face up. Take turns with your partner to name three things in each graph:
slope
-intercept
-intercept
For each graph that your partner chooses, see if you agree with your partner’s thinking. If you agree, write down the answers. If you disagree, discuss your thinking and work to reach an agreement.
Deal out the equation cards face up, leaving the graph cards face up as well. Take turns with your partner to match each graph with an equation.
For each match that you find, explain to your partner how you know it’s a match.
For each match that your partner finds, listen carefully to the explanation. If you disagree, discuss your thinking and work to reach an agreement.

8.F.4
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
For each equation, identify the slope and -intercept of its graph.

Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.
