===The 10th grade Geometry Mathematics curriculum at Hornsby High School is a rigorous course designed to prepare students for the New York State Geometry Exam, which is typically given every January and June and August of each school year. In addition to learning the concepts, students should gain an understanding of the material taught and learn to apply this to answer a variety of questions and problems. Simply memorizing the material and answering questions by rote will not make up for the satisfactory success in this course. Due to the cumulative nature of mathematics, concepts build on one another and success in one unit will depend on the success in the previous unit. In addition to that, students are expected to know concepts from previous math courses and use them as the foundation of this year’s material. Therefore, it is very important for students not to fall behind with their assignments or to miss classes.===

=Objective= By the end of this unit, all students should be able to graph a linear equation and compute the x- and y-intercepts (e.g., graph ). They should also be able to sketch the region defined by linear inequality (e.g., they sketch the region defined by ).
