Graphing Linear Functions

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b). It is calculated as the rise over run, or the change in y divided by the change in x.

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b), the y-intercept is represented by 'b'.

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

This equation represents a linear function with a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of 2.

To graph a line using slope-intercept form, first plot the y-intercept (b) on the y-axis, then use the slope (m) to determine the rise over run from that point.

The slope of the line is -3.

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line, while the y-intercept indicates where the line crosses the y-axis.

You can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

The slope of the line is 1/2.

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right.
