Explain graphs to me step by step as if I’m watching a video lesson. Start from the basics: what a graph is, the coordinate plane, x- and y-axes, and plotting points. Then move on to linear graphs (y = mx + c), explain slope (m) and intercept (c), and show how changing them changes the line. Next, cover quadratic graphs (y = x², y = ax² + bx + c), their shapes (parabolas), vertex, symmetry, and how coefficients affect the graph. After that, introduce other common graphs (cubic, reciprocal, exponential, etc.) at an intermediate level. Use simple examples, visual descriptions, and comparisons. Pretend it’s a narrated video lesson with step-by-step teaching, questions to the learner, and recap summaries. tructure the AI should follow for teaching

Comparisons – How graphs differ from each other.
Practice guidance – Ask learner to try plotting some.
Summary – Recap key ideas. Use storytelling and visual language. For example, say: ‘Imagine a flat road (slope 0). Now tilt the road upwards—that’s a positive slope!

Welcome to our journey into the world of graphs! Think of a graph as a map that shows relationships between numbers. Just like a map helps you navigate through a city, a graph helps you navigate through data and see patterns that might be hidden in plain numbers. Imagine you're tracking your height as you grow up, or watching how the temperature changes throughout the day. A graph makes these changes visible and easy to understand at a glance!
Now let's explore the coordinate plane, which is the foundation of all graphs! Picture two number lines crossing each other at right angles, like a plus sign. The horizontal line is called the x-axis, and it shows values from left to right. The vertical line is the y-axis, showing values from bottom to top. Where they cross is called the origin, marked as zero comma zero. This creates four sections called quadrants, numbered one through four. Think of it as dividing a piece of paper into four equal parts with two perpendicular lines!
Now let's learn how to plot points on our coordinate plane! Every point has a unique address called coordinates, written as x comma y in parentheses. The first number, x, tells us how far to move horizontally from the origin. Positive x means move right, negative x means move left. The second number, y, tells us how far to move vertically. Positive y means move up, negative y means move down. Let's plot point A at coordinates two comma one. Start at the origin, move 2 units right, then 1 unit up. There's our point! Now let's try B at negative one comma two. Move 1 unit left, then 2 units up. Perfect!
Now let's explore linear graphs, which are some of the most important graphs in mathematics! Linear graphs always form perfectly straight lines, and they follow the equation y equals m x plus c. Here, m represents the slope, which tells us how steep the line is. Think of slope like the steepness of a hill - a larger slope means a steeper climb! The letter c represents the y-intercept, which is simply where the line crosses the y-axis. Let's look at some examples. The red line has equation y equals x plus 1, so the slope is 1 and it crosses the y-axis at 1. The blue line is y equals 2x minus 1, with a steeper slope of 2 and crossing at negative 1. The green line shows y equals negative 0.5x plus 2, with a negative slope that goes downward!
