Common Core

• HSA.REI.D.12 – 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.

• 8.EE.A.1 – Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3^2 × 3^-5 = 3^-3 = 1/3^3 = 1/27.

TEKS

• A.2(H) – write linear inequalities in two variables given a table of values, a graph, and a verbal description

• A.3(D) – graph the solution set of linear inequalities in two variables on the coordinate plane

• A.11(B) – simplify numeric and algebraic expressions using the laws of exponents, including integral and rational exponents
