Equation of a straight line

What does slope mean?

• Where the line intersects the y-axis on a coordinate plane.

• The constant rate of change.

• Where the line intersects the x-axis on a coordinate plane.

• Every x value has exactly one y value.

Check all that apply. In the equation y = 6

• Slope = 6

• Slope = 0

• y-intercept = 6

• y-intercept = 0

Answer explanation

When the x disappears, it must have been multiplied by 0!
