Linear Equations Foldable
Instructions
Step 1: Fold your piece of
paper like a hotdog.
Step 2: Unfold.
Step 3: Fold your paper
like a hamburger.
Step 4: Fold your paper
two more times in the same
direction, making 4 equal
sections.
Cutting your Foldable…
 CUT along the RED LINES ONLY!
Filling in the FRONT of the Foldable…
GIVEN
2 points on a line,
and you are
looking for slope
GIVEN
• The slope and yintercept
• The slope and a point
GIVEN
The slope and a point
GIVEN
An equation to
convert into
standard form
Filling in the INSIDE LEFT…
SLOPE FORMULA
y2 – y1 = m = rise
x2 – x1
run
SLOPE INTERCEPT
FORM
y = mx + b
POINT SLOPE FORM
y2 – y1 = m (x2 – x1)
STANDARD FORM
Ax + By = C
“A” must be positive and a
non-fraction
Filling in the INSIDE RIGHT…
Example:
(-6, 7) and (-4, 11)
Example: 1
m = ¼ and b = -5
Example: 2
m = -3 and (4, -2)
Example:
m = ½ and (-8, 2)
Example: 1
½ x + 8y = 12
Example: 2
3y = 4x + 9
After you have
written the
examples,
