What is the y-intercept in a linear graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, representing the value of y when x is 0.

How do you find the y-intercept from a linear equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x to 0 in the equation and solve for y.

How is the slope calculated from two points on a graph?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
