The student will investigate and analyze proportional relationships between two quantities using verbal descriptions, tables, equations in y = mx form, and graphs, including problems in context.
7.PFA.1a
Determine the slope, m, as the rate of change in a proportional relationship between two quantities given a table of values, graph, or contextual situation and write an equation in the form y = mx to represent the direct variation relationship. Slope may include positive or negative values (slope will be limited to positive values in a contextual situation).
7.PFA.1b
Identify and describe a line with a slope that is positive, negative, or zero (0), given a graph.
7.PFA.1e
Make connections between and among representations of a proportional relationship between two quantities using problems in context, tables, equations, and graphs. Slope may include positive or negative values (slope will be limited to positive values in a contextual situation).
