Understanding

Students understand that:

Equations with two variables represent mathematical relationships in which the value of the dependent variable varies with changes in the independent variable.
A symbolic or visual representation of relevant features of a real-world problem can aid in interpretation of the situation.
Translating between language, a table, an equation, or a graph represents the same relationship and provides a different perspective on the function.
