Making small changes to slope and intercept can be really tricky for 9th graders.
Slope Changes: Even a tiny raise in the slope can make the line much steeper. This can make it tough for students to see what counts as "too steep."
Intercept Changes: Moving the intercept can confuse students about where the graph actually starts.
But don’t worry! With regular practice, some helpful visuals, and using graphing tools, students can get better at understanding these ideas.
