[i] In this Activity, you are going to learn about the trend/behavior of the graph by dragging the slider tool to investigate its effect to the graph of linear equation y=mx + b.[br][/i][br][b]Objectives:[/b][br]  At the end of this activity, you will be able to describe the graph of a linear equations in terms of its intercepts and slope.[br][br][b]Questions for Discussion:[/b][br]1.) Drag the slope slider from left to right and vice versa. What happens to the graph?[br]2.) What is the trend/behavior of the graph when its slope (m) is:[br]  a.) positive? [br]  b.) negative?[br]  c.) zero?[br]3.) Drag the slope(m) slider and y-intercept(b) slider from left to right and vice versa. What did you observe to the graph?[br]4.) What happens to the graph when the value of slope and y-intercept (b) increases? decreases? become zero?[br]5.) What can you say about the x-and intercept when the slope is positive? negative? zero?[br]6.) Based on your observation as you move the slope(m) slider, which graph of a linear equation is steeper?
