How do you determine the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be determined by finding the rise over run between two points on the line. It is calculated as (change in y) / (change in x).

How can you write a linear equation from a word problem involving a fixed cost and a variable cost?

Back

Identify the fixed cost as the y-intercept and the variable cost per unit as the slope. The equation will be in the form y = mx + b.
