y-intercept and slope

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. It is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of b in the equation, which represents the point (0, b) on the graph.

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is.

How is slope calculated between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
