The interactive resource investigates slope and intercept. Students adjust the sliders to control the slope (m) and the intercept (b) of the line. The equation and the line will change accordingly. Learners can also drag the origin.

This resource provides an overview of graphing for various types of functions, instruction on graphing straight lines and also, includes advice on common mistakes made by students.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains the equation of a line, including how to find points on a line, intercepts, and how to recognize the equation of a line. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to...

This is an interactive page that provides the user with practice for finding the slope of a line. The site has a list of seven questions and requires the user to change the graph to fit the given required slope.

Graph lines using a slope and a y-intercept. Identify the slope and y-intercept from the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.

The most basic quadratic is y = x2. The general technique for graphing quadratics is the same as for graphing linear equations. The quadratics graph as curvy lines (called "parabolas"), rather than the straight lines generated by linear...

This site explains what a linear equation is, general forms of linear equations, how to graph a line using the method of plotting points. The site also details how to find points on the line given the equation, information about the...

Explore slopes of lines and see how slope is represented on the x-y axes.

Use your knowledge about the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines to solve some problems. For example, what's the equation of the lineperpendicular to y=3x-3 and passes through the point (-8, -2).

Use this activity to practice how to enter a set of data, plot the data on a coordinate grid, and determine the equation for a line of best fit.

This lesson will use a slide presentation to facilitate teaching learners how to find the slope of a line when given the graph of the line or two points. Students will interact with the presentation in two ways: first, by taking notes...

The method of graphing to solve a system of linear equations is demonstrated on this site. Students are shown how to graph the lines, then shown how to find the solution.

Learners gain the knowledge of how to plot and recognize first degree equations on a graph. The lesson has an overview, materials, procedures, and evaluation techniques.

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to have students practice simple computation that results in them graphing their answers. If they are accurate they will have a straight line. Students use an interactive...

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.

This activity can be used to explore forces acting on an object, to practice graphing experimental data, and/or to introduce the algebra concepts of slope and intercept of a line. A wooden 2x4 beam is set on top of two scales. Students...

For this task, students are shown the graphs of two equations, with areas bounded by their lines and intersections shaded in different colors. They are asked to write a system of equations or inequalities for each shaded area and explain...

A mathematics tutorial that allows you to interactively learn and manipulate the slope and intercepts of a line.
