A linear function has two parameters that can be changed, slope, m, and y-intercept, b.  Use the applet to investigate the effect of changing the parameters on a linear function. 

Directions:

  1. Move the sliders to change the slope and y-intercept for the linear function.
  2. Observe what happens to the graph as the parameter values change.
