What is the slope of a linear equation?

Back

The slope of a linear equation represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It is calculated as the rise over run, or the change in y divided by the change in x.

What does a zero of a linear function represent?

Back

A zero of a linear function is the x-value where the function crosses the x-axis, meaning the output (y) is zero.

If a linear function has a y-intercept of 6, what does this mean?

Back

A y-intercept of 6 means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 6).

What does it mean for a line to be in slope-intercept form?

Back

A line in slope-intercept form clearly shows the slope and y-intercept, making it easy to graph.
