Competencies for Advanced Algebra, Chapter 2 (Prentice-Hall)

* Find the slope, y-int and x-int of a linear equation (2-1: #7)
* Graph equations in y = mx + b and Ax + By = C format ( get help here: http://www.math.com/school/subject2/lessons/S2U4L1GL.html)
* Find equations for lines give a point and a slope, or two points (p.60: Ex 2, 2-3: 9-17)
* Graph a system of piece-wise linear equations, or write the system from a given graph. (p.74)
* Manipulate linear equations into standard form: Ax + By = C (2-3: 1-8)
* Solve linear and absolute value equations and inequalities (2-4: Ex 1,3,4 and 2-4: 14 - 28)
* Graph the solution(s) to linear and absolute value equations and inequalities (2-4: Ex 4 and 2-4: 22-28)
* Express intervals using interval notation (2-5: problem #35)
* Graph linear inequalities and absolute value equations on a coordinate plane (bottom of p.81, 2-5: Ex 2 and 7 - 22)
* Be able to find theoretical and experimental probabilities (including being able to simulate an experiment on random number table). Determine probabilities from geometric figures. 2-6: Ex 1,4 and problems 1-4, 8-15,20,21)
