  1. Finding the slope of a line: Rise over the Run. It is wise to remember the rise is the y's. The runner looks like an x, perhaps.

  2. Plot this set of numbers (from Maya 3D Graphics planet orbit animation).
     1   0
     2   0.482
     3   1.9
     4   4.213
     5   7.379
     6  11.356
     7  16.103
     8  21.578
    
    Here is the absolutely best fitting linear equation y = mx + b, for the
    above data.  The slope of the straight line is m and the intercept is b.
    
                 When x is equal to 0, the equation becomes y = m*0 + b, or
                                                            y = 0 + b = b.
    
      y = f(x) = 3.104 * x - 6.090  or  y = 3.1 * x - 6.1
    
    The best CURVE fitting quadratic equation for the above set of 
    8 points, i.e. (x, y) pairs is:
    
        f(x)  =  y = 0.416 * x*x  -  0.641 * x  +  0.152
         
                              2
           or    y  =  0.416 x   -  0.641 x  +  0.152
    

  3. The SHODOR Data Flyer tool.
