- Summary
Construction of a line joining two points. You can move this line around and display its equation.
The general equation of a straight line is given in the form y = mx+b where m stands for the gradient (slope).
- Learning objectives
- To illustrate the relationship between the equation of a straight line and its graph.
- To show that the slope doesn’t change when the line is moved.
- How to use the animation
- Click and drag the mouse to draw a line.
