Graphing Linear Functions

Crash Course Video Lesson

Common Misconceptions to Look Out For

• Confusing slope with intercept or graphing from the wrong intercept point
• Misplacing points when using slope to move up/down and left/right
• Assuming all linear equations go through the origin

Differentiation Tips

• Scaffolding: Begin with graphing lines in slope-intercept form, then practice with equations in standard form that require rearrangement.
• Advanced Learners: Challenge students to interpret intersections and parallel/perpendicular lines by comparing slopes.
