Objective
Explore the relationship between linear equations and their graphs.
Materials
- Graph paper
- Pencils and rulers
- Calculator
- Notebook for recording data
Instructions
- Select a set of linear equations to graph.
- Calculate the x- and y-intercepts for each equation.
- Plot the intercepts and draw the line on graph paper for each equation.
- Compare the slopes and intercepts of different lines and note any patterns.
- Analyze how changes in the equation (e.g., slope, y-intercept) affect the graph.
- Present your findings in a report, discussing the relationship between linear equations and their graphical representations.
