How does changing the slope affect the graph?
Adjust the slope (m) using the slider so that it is equal to 2. Adjust the intercept (b) using the slider so that it is equal to 3. Look at the equation. What do you notice?
Adjust the slope (m) using the slider so that it is equal to -3. Adjust the intercept (b) using the slider so that it is equal to -4. Look at the equation. What do you notice?
Adjust the slope (m) using the slider so that it is equal to 1/2. Adjust the intercept (b) using the slider so that it is equal to -2. Look at the equation. What do you notice?
