Graphing Equations

What does this mean?

Much of this standard relates to understanding how equations can be translated in order to further our reasoning. This standard also includes graphing an equation and/or its solution. 

For the purposes of this project, I've chosen to solely focus on graphing within this standard, as the ability to graph and understand how an equation translates to a different visual representation is hugely important in high school math. Graphing is one of the most important mathematical concepts for a student in high school to understand, as it is a building block to future concepts and classes that students will need to take.

First and for most, students will need to understand what a graph is and looks like:

 Previously, students should have been taught slope-intercept form, or y=mx + b, where:

m = the slope of the equation (aka how much the equation grows by)

b = the y-intercept (aka what point the graph line crosses the vertical line or y-axis)

For online graphing practice, I suggest using the website, Desmos: https://www.desmos.com/calculator
