Algebra is a mathematical must
practice you must or you will collect dust
linear equations destined to be defined
Y-intercept and Slope must be derived
A coordinate plane sits at absolute zero
four quadrants compete to be crowned the hero
two sets of coordinates destined to each other
a reciprocal circle of sister and brother
y over x when compared by two sets
leaves behind the slope of x y roulette
a set of coordinates partnered with slope
defines the y-intercept with an equation in scope
slope intercept form we have on our hands
to graph the line on the coordinate land
we travel by the constant to develop the level
positive or negative reflects our bevel
rise over run the slope will run
we now draw our line, shot like a gun
the coordinate plane now brought to life
our coordinates now graphed check the points twice
Simple procedures and there you have
slope intercept form and graphing in your hands.
