Sorting It Out

Students have been busy in math class.
After designing a staircase with a slope that met building codes,
They are trying to conquer the slope-intercept equation and how it matches up to graphs on the coordinate plane.

Today, students sorted through graphs, equations, table of values, slopes, and y-intercepts.




What is slope?
What is the y-intercept?
What does the equation look like in slope-intercept form?
