This is an introduction and exploration of slope and y-intercept in linear equations written in slope-intercept form. This is a great tool for letting students explore slope and y-intercept before any formal rules are taught. The exercises incorporate color coding lines and graphing on the same coordinate grid so that students can see how changing slope and the changing y-intercept affects a line (similar to using a graphing calculator but with colored pencils and rulers.) Each exercise ends wit
