Project : Piecewise Linear Grapher Exploration (Concord) Project Profile :

- The Piecewise Linear Grapher explicitly links changes a user makes in a graph of a linear function with

corresponding changes in its symbolic expression.

- Changes in the graph produce corresponding changes in its symbolic notation. Conversely, changes in the symbolic form result in changes in the graph.

- Beyond simple linear functions such as lines or bent lines, users may explore step functions -- those that are discontinuous in range and/or domain, as well as linear relationships that are not functions. For example, with cases in which a graph defines a non-function because a single input yields more than one output, the PLG alerts the user and then allows continued exploration.
