Example Question #2 : Interpret Slope And Intercept Of A Linear Model: Ccss.Math.Content.Hss Id.C.7
Identify the slope of the following line:
This question asks us to analyze the constituent components of a linear equation written in the slope-intercept formula:
This formula provides information about two key parts of a line: the slope and y-intercept.
The slope is commonly defined as rise over run. In other words, it is the change in y-values across points divided by the change in x-values. It is calculated using the following formula:
In this formula, the x- and y-values come from two points from the line written in the following format:
It is important to note that slopes can be positive or negative. A positive slope moves upward from left to right while a negative slope moves downward.
