Practice writing and using the standard form of linear equations with these fun mystery letter team relays!

Each relay has students work in groups of 4 to write linear equations in standard form and find the x- and y- intercepts by breaking up the steps to give each student in the group a different role:
- Student 1 is responsible for graphing 2 given points and the line connecting them on the coordinate plane
- Student 2 is responsible for writing the equation of the line in slop-intercept form
- Student 3 is responsible for converting the slope-intercept form equation into standard form
- Student 4 is responsible for finding the x- and y- intercepts of the line using the standard form equation

The intercepts correspond with the mystery letters. Checking if a group completed the relay correctly is as simple as checking their mystery letters!

There are 4 relays included (all set up the same way) so that students can rotate roles each time, giving each student an opportunity to completed each of the 4 steps.

Competitive classes love making team relays a race!
