Exploring Graphing Linear Functions for 6th Grade

The video tutorial explains how to graph linear functions by calculating the value of y for different x values using the equation y = 2x + 1. It provides step-by-step calculations for x values of 1, -1, -3, and -7. The tutorial then demonstrates how to plot the function y = x + 2 by substituting x values and plotting the resulting points on a coordinate grid. The video concludes with a demonstration of drawing a straight line through the plotted points to complete the graph of the linear function.
