Slope and Graphing Review

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the equation of a line (y = mx + b). It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

How do you find the slope from an equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

In the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, the slope 'm' is the coefficient of x.

What is the equation of the line with a slope of -4/5 and a y-intercept of 3?

Back

y = -4/5x + 3

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, represented by 'b' in the equation.

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

Back

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