Main Concepts
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
Where do we see the slope in a linear equation? Where do we see the y-intercept in a linear equation? What is y-intercept form? What is the definition of parallel lines - do they ever intersect? What is an equation? What is a Cartesian plane? What direction does the x axis go?
After the Game
How did the graph of the line change as you changed the numbers in the equations (which numbers made the graph move up/down, left/right)? What did you need to do to equations that were not in y-intercept form so that you could identify what the slopes and/or y-intercepts were? When does a system of equations have one solution? When does a system of equations have infinite solutions? When does a system of equations have no solutions? How did you know where to place points on the graph to match the given equations?
