Question

What is y-intercept and slope on a graph?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Every graph has two axis's, the horizontal line is the x-axis and the Vertical line is the y-axis.

Every line that is graphed is commonly put in slope intercept form:
`y=mx + b`

The b in that equation represent the y-intercept. The y-intercept means the point at which the line of the equation intersects with the y-axis.

The m in the slope intercept form represents the slope of the line. The slope of a line describes both he direction and steepness of the line. The higher the slope the steeper the line. The smaller the slope the less steep the line is.

For example: If we had this line: y = 2x+2

The slope of the line is 2

the y-intercept is 2

Answer 2

The Y-Intercept is where the line intercepts on the Y axis of the graph. The slope of a graph is the rate the data is increasing or decreasing at.
