Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to demonstrate how changes to the slope and y-intercept values affect the orientation and vertical position of a straight line on a graph.
Students will be able to relate the numerical values of slope (m) and y-intercept (b) in a linear equation to the corresponding visual characteristics of the straight line on the graph.
Students will be able to construct a straight line on the graph that meets specific graphical criteria by manipulating its slope and y-intercept parameters.
