A) The student will recognize and describe the graph of a linear function with a slope that is positive, negative, or zero.
B) The student will identify the slope and y-intercept of a linear function, given a table of values, a graph, or an equation in y = mx + b form.
C) The student will determine the independent and dependent variable, given a practical situation modeled by a linear function.
D) The student will graph a linear function given the equation in y = mx + b form.
E) The student will make connections between and among representations of a linear function using verbal descriptions, tables, equations, and graphs.
A) The student will recognize and describe the graph of a linear function with a slope that is positive, negative, or zero.
Recognize and describe a line's slope as positive, negative, or zero.

Desmos Graphing Calculator (Virginia SOL version)
You can use this to enter linear equations and have them graphed.
interactive slope-intercept graphing (PHET of University of Colorado)
Slope-intercept:
Drag the purple dot to change the y-intercept. Drag the blue one to change the slope.
Notice how the equation (top right corner) changes as you alter the points.
Line Game:
Choose level of difficulty.
Drag the line to match the equation, or alter the equation to fit the graph.
interactive point-dragger (Math Warehouse)
For the "round to" menu on the right side, choose "integer."
Drag the points around. The slope-intercept equation above the graph will change.
