What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend.

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

How do you identify the y-intercept from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.
