arrow on the mapping diagram.
- Move the slider to change the value of $m$ or $b$.
- Check the box to see a second point and the related arrow on
the mapping diagram and triangle on the graph that illustrates
the "slope" of the line and the rate of change on the mapping
diagram.
- Select the point $x$ in the mapping diagram to move the point
by mouse or use the scroll up or down key to move by
increments of 1.
