Can you use our template to create your own Sudoku challenge?
Linear Functions
Linear functions are the most important family of functions. They pervade our everyday lives and our work. Their graph is a line, and their general form is f(x)=mx+b where m is the slope of the function and b is the y-intercept, the value where the line crosses the y-axis. This Lab is designed to give you a picture of a linear function based on its formula. So play with it until you can picture the function from its formula and its formula from its graph.
