Self check

After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

This is a table that has six rows and four columns. In the first row, which is a header row, the cells read from left to right: “I can…,” “confidently,” “with some help,” and “no-I don’t get it!” The first column below “I can…” reads “find the equation of the line given the slope and y-intercept,”, “find an equation of the line given the slope and a point,” “find an equation of the line given two points,” “find an equation of a line parallel to a given line,” and “find an equation of a line perpendicular to a given line.” The rest of the cells are blank.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your mastery of this section in light of your responses on the checklist? How can you improve this?
