Linear Functions

Description

This image presents a linear graph with a stair step showing the rise over the run, illustrating the concept of slope. It introduces the idea that knowing the slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line allows us to find the equation in slope-intercept form.

By incorporating this visual aid, teachers can help students understand the connection between the graphical representation of slope and its use in forming equations. This image is particularly useful for bridging the gap between visual and algebraic representations of linear functions.

Teachers can engage students with this image by saying: "Look at how the slope is represented on this graph. If you know this slope and any point on the line, you have enough information to write an equation for the entire line. How do you think we might use this information to form an equation?"
