Graphing linear functions might seem tough and not related to real life at first. Many students find it hard to:

• Understand slopes: Figuring out how steep a line is can be tricky.
• Identify intercepts: Seeing where the line crosses the axes can feel confusing.

But we can make these ideas easier to understand by using:

• Real-life examples: Look at costs or distances with equations like $y = mx + b$.
• Visual tools: Drawing graphs to show real-life situations can help you grasp the concepts better.
