Graphing a Linear Equation in Two Variables
Use the applet below to review how to graph a linear equation in two variables. Notice, the applet will give you an equation to graph. Slide the blue points to move the line. Once you have correctly graphed the line the phrase "You Did It" will appear. To continue practicing click on the box that says [New Line].
Practice as much as needed to fill comfortable with graphing the line.
