What is the formula for finding the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the equation y = mx + b.
