Math exploration to adjust slope/intercept of a line to match two given points.
The LineModule app is a prototype of an exploratory activity to build a visual understanding of the value of slope and intercept of a line connecting two given points. This version uses a simple interface to change slope and y-intercept in a linear equation until the line goes through two randomly generated points. In the final version of this activity, there will be several difficulty levels working toward mastery of the topic of "finding an equation between two points." The LineProblems app, also available on the Android Market, will be integrated with this sequence of activities.
