Exploring Linear Equations

Graph linear equations in standard form with one coefficient equal to zero. The lesson plan reviews graphing lines in standard form and moves to having y-coefficient zero. Pupils determine the orientation of the line and, through a...

Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the...

Show your class that linear equations produce graphs of lines. The 20th segment in a unit of 33 provides proof that the graph of a two-variable linear equation is a line. Scholars graph linear equations using two points, either from...

A line is a line is a line. As a middle school assessment task, learners first identify graphs of given linear equations. They then identify the equations that represent real-world situations.

In this short video, Sal shows how to graph a line in slope-intercept form.

Given a linear equation, find the x-intercept and the y-intercept to graph the line. Not sure what to do or where to start? Watch this video and see the instructor break it down and make it understandable.

How can you graph lines that don't seem to fit on the given graph? What makes a line straight? What does the rate of change mean when graphing a line? How do you know if a slope is positive or negative? How do you know if the graph of a...

You have a slope and a given point and now you have to graph it. Begin by drawing a graph and then plotting the given point. Remember that slope is rise over run. So, from the given point move the appropriate spaces to plot the next...

Parallel lines must always have the same slope. Learners use this bit of information to extend their equation writing skills. A video lesson explains how to write the equation of a line parallel to a given line and through a given point....
