What does the slope represent in a linear function?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Front

If a line has a slope of -1, what does that indicate about its direction?

Back

A slope of -1 indicates that the line descends from left to right, meaning for every unit increase in x, y decreases by 1 unit.

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.
