Intro

Four Ways to See One Pattern

By the end of this lesson you can represent a linear relationship using words, tables, graphs, and equations that simplify to y = mx + b, moving among them freely. A linear relationship changes by the same fixed amount each time x goes up by one, so its graph is a straight line.
