Students graph linear and quadratic functions. They locate the coordinates of any points of intersection of two lines or of a line and a parabola. Students utilize slope, distance, and midpoint formulas to verify properties of special quadrilaterals and find equations of medians, altitudes, and perpendicular bisectors of sides of various triangles. They solve real-world problems using linear or quadratic functions. Full Review »
