Answer:
Explanation:
Typically in a line the y intercept is the point where your graph crosses the y-axis, and the x value is 0 so (0,b) is the y-intercept where y-intercept is b
The slope can be found by finding the rate of change, so the change in y / the change in x
You can also calculate the slope with 2 points so (x1, y1) (x2, y2)
you take the y values and subtract them, then divide by the x values like this:
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
If a line is going up to the right in Quadrant I then the slope is positive, if the slope of the line goes down in Quadrant IV then the line slope is negative
Slopes of horizontal lines are zero, the slope of a vertical line is undefined
We use the letter m to stand for the slope
