What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It shows how much y increases or decreases for a unit increase in x.

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero; it represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant of the line.
