OBJECTIVE: SWBAT GRAPH LINES ON A COORDINATE PLANE TO CREAT A SYSTEM

Today in class we learned/reviewed about how to graph a line and what you need to graph a line. To graph a line, you need a slope, which is change in y over change in x, b, your y intercept, and two points. You actually don’t really need the first two, y; you just need the two points to find you slope, which you could then use to find your y intercept, and then you could graph your line. Other ways to find your y intercept would be to use point slope or to graph the line or to navigate using the slope.
