CCSS Support Algebra I Unit 3
This example demonstrates the graph of a linear function. By selecting two points on the line, the slope is calculated using the formula [math]m=rac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/math], and the equation of the line is written. Commands used include SelectedElement, Polygon, LaTeX, Segment, Division, FractionText, etc. Suitable for middle school and above students to learn about linear functions.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a linear function graph by selecting two points on the line to determine the slope m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). Use the point-slope form y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) to write the equation of the line, and then convert it to the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. First, choose two points on the line, calculate the slope, and then use the point-slope form to write the equation of the line, finally simplify it to the slope-intercept form.
