Toeing the Line
Do you always toe the line?
OBJECTIVE: To learn how to graph a line using a table of values
[br]In this lesson, you'll learn how to graph a line by constructing a table of values.[br][br]At the top of the applet below is a list of numbers. Drag the numbers to fill up all the boxes. Click [i][color=#0000ff]"Check"[/color][/i] when done. If your numbers are correct, the applet will confirm that the graph is [i][color=#0000ff]"Linear!"[/color][/i]; otherwise, it will display the words [i][color=#0000ff]"Not linear!"[/color][br][br][/i]Keep track of the number of lines that you form. Then answer the questions that follow.
[color=#0000ff]QUESTION: [/color]How many [color=#ff0000]distinct[/color] lines can you form by filling up all the boxes using the numbers listed?
[color=#0000ff]QUESTION:[/color] How many ways are there to fill up all the boxes to form the [color=#ff0000]same[/color] line?
TODAY you learned how to graph a line by coming up with a table of values and plotting the points.
In a future lesson, you will learn how to graph a line without using a table of values. We hope you ENJOYED today's lesson.
