To draw the graph of a linear function you create a function table, plot the points into a coordinate system and connect those points. This video shows how.

A type of function that can be written in the form 

, where m is the slope of the curve and b is the y-intercept. The graph of a linear function is always a straight line.

The ratio between the change in y coordinates and the change in x coordinates (rise over run). It describes the steepness of a line.

Tells you where the graph of a function intersects with the 

A function table provides an overview of a function’s input values, and its associated output values.

. By plotting these in a coordinate system you can visualize the relationship between the input, 

, of the function. This is what we mean by drawing a graph.

A tool for representing points using a pair of numerical values as coordinates. Consists of two axes, 

-axis and four sections called a quadrants.

The horizontal axis in a coordinate system

The vertical axis in a coordinate system. Often called 

Every point in the coordinate system has coordinates of the form 

. The first coordinate tells you where the point is along the 

-axis, and the second coordinate tells you where the point is placed along the
