Graphing Linear Equations Teacher Resources

This lesson plan guides students through the use of a graphing calculator to explore the slope and y-intercept of a line.

This tutorial will show you how to find a the slope of graph, write a linear equation in slope-intercept form. You'll also learn how to determine whether two lines are parallel or perpendicular to each other. For advanced math students.

This QuickTime movie from MathFlix provides an introduction to graphing inthe first quadrant on the coordinate plane using the game Tic Tac Toe. As you watch and listen to the teacher and student interact it helps clarify the thinking...

Demonstrates, step-by-step and with illustrations, how to use slope and the y-intercept to graph straight lines.

[Free Registration/Login Required] A basic premise of science is that much of the physical world can be described mathematically and many physical phenomena are predictable. This scientific outlook took place in Europe during the late...

This video tutorial demonstrates how to solve a linear system of equations by graphing. The lesson includes detailed examples.

Students input a function in either y= of f(x)= form, and then the site from WyzAnt does the rest! A detailed graph is shown in less than a second. Students can change the window used to view the graph as well as whether to have...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will learn how to estimate what the solution to a system of linear equation is by graphing.

A brief overview of three methods used to graph lines is presented through examples. Slope-intercept, point-slope, and intercept form are demonstrated step-by-step along with a review of the formula for finding the slope of a line.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students will understand linear relations and functions. They will create graphs and analyze graphs of linear equations.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Connects what we have learned about slope as a ratio to linear equations. We had previously used the term rate of change, but can now connect it to the idea of slope. There are information pages and...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Finished investigating slope as an angle and will now do some investigation with slope as a ratio. It will then be a bridge to go back to linear equations (with the connection to rate of change). There...

Enter the slope and y-intercept of any line and it will be graphed for you. This site is great for becoming familiar with the concept of graphing and for checking your own graphs. Requires Java.

A linear equation is an equation whose graph is a line. Watch this video for an in-depth explanation and examples of both linear and non-linear equations. [5:48]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students learn to solve linear systems by graphing. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice problems.

Find out what linear equations are, and understand what makes an equation linear or nonlinear. [5:48]

In this exercise, students practice constructing a linear equation for a line graph in order to find the slope. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.

In this exercise, students practice determining the linear equation and slope from two points on a line graph. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints, or try questions repeatedly.
