How do you calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the slope-intercept form.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal.
