Math Is Fun is a website that offers a myriad of resources to learn math in an enjoyable manner.

In this section you can explore the effect of changing the slope and/or the y-intercept on the graph of a straight line.

Finding the equation of a straight line from 2 points is also possible here -although you will have to scroll down a bit further. Just move the dots on the graph and see how the line equation changes in real time.

My suggestion is for you to only use these tools to check the results of your own calculations. Don't fool yourself by having it do your homework for you!
