Don't Forget

• To plot a point on the coordinate plane, start at the origin (0,0) and move left/right units and up/down units. • An intercept is where the line touches the or -axis. • To evaluate a function, substitute the value in place of in ( ) into the equation. • To multiply binomials, use the distributive property (or FOIL) and then combine like terms to simplify.
