More on graphing lines

Yesterday and today we've spent working more with lines, in particular in the form y = mx + b. Yesterday was graphing them using the slope-intercept form (graph the intercept and build the line based on the slope) and today we created the equation from reading the graph. The kids also practiced transforming linear equations from the form Ax + By = C to y = mx + b. They DO have homework: transform and graph #s 53 - 60 on the sheet I gave them today in class.
