Understand and apply directly proportional relationships and relate to linear relationships

A.PA.07.01 Recognize when information given in a table, graph, or formula suggests a proportional or linear relationship.
A.RP.07.02 Represent directly proportional and linear relationships using verbal descriptions, tables, graphs, and formulas, and translate among these representations.
A.PA.07.03 Given a directly proportional or linear situation, graph and interpret the slope and intercept(s) in terms of the original situation; evaluate y = kx for specific x values, given k, e.g., weight vs. volume of water, base cost plus cost per unit.
A.PA.07.04 For directly proportional or linear situations, solve applied problems using graphs and equations, e.g., the heights and volume of a container with uniform cross-section, height of waterin a tank being filled at a constant rate, degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit, distance and time under constant speed.
A.PA.07.05 Understand and use directly proportional relationships of the form y = mx, and distinguish from linear relationships of the form y = mx + b, b non-zero; understand that in a directly proportional relationship between two quantities one quantity is a constant multiple of the other quantity.

Understand and represent linear functions

A.PA.07.06 Calculate the slope from the graph of a linear function as the ratio of "rise/run" for a pair of points on the graph, and express the answer as a fraction and a decimal; understand that linear functions have slope that is a constant rate of change.
A.PA.07.07 Represent linear functions in the form y = x + b, y = mx, and y = mx + b, and graph, interpreting slope and y-intercept.
A.FO.07.08 Know that the solution to a linear equation corresponds to the point at which its graph crosses the x-axis.

Understand and solve problems about inversely proportional relationships

A.PA.07.09 Recognize inversely proportional relationships in contextual situations; know that quantities are inversely proportional if their product is constant, e.g., the length and width of a rectangle with fixed area, and that an inversely proportional relationship is of the form y = k/x where k is some non-zero number.
A.RP.07.10 Know that the graph of y = k/x is not a line; know its shape; and know that it crosses neither the x nor the y-axis.

Apply basic properties of real numbers in algebraic contexts

A.PA.07.11 Understand and use basic properties of real numbers; additive and multiplicative identities, additive and multiplicative inverses, commutativity, associativity, and the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Combine algebraic expressions and solve equations

A.FO.07.12 Add, subtract, and multiply simple algebraic expressions of the first degree, e.g., (92x + 8y) − 5x + y, or − 2x(5x − 4), and justify using properties of real numbers.
A.FO.07.13 From applied situations, generate and solve linear equations of the form ax + b = c and ax + b = cx + d, and interpret solutions.

G.TR.07.04 Solve problems about similar figures and scale drawings.
G.TR.07.05 Show that two triangles are similar using the criteria: corresponding angles are congruent (AAA similarity); the ratios of two pairs of corresponding sides are equal and the included angles are congruent (SAS similarity); ratios of all pairs of corresponding sides are equal (SSS similarity); use these criteria to solve problems and to justify arguments.
