What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it goes (positive or negative).

How can you write a linear equation from a table of values?

Back

To write a linear equation from a table, identify the slope using two points from the table, then use one of the points to find the y-intercept.

How do you convert two points into a linear equation?

Back

1. Find the slope using the two points. 2. Use one point to solve for the y-intercept. 3. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
