MTH-100 Lecture : Slope
Document Summary
Slope, denoted m, is the change in y for a given change in x. Slope m change in y change in x y x y. The slope of the line connecting points b and c is 2. 3 representing a rise of 2 for each run of 3. The slope between any two points on this line will always have the same slope, 2. You can confirm by plotting points that the above is the graph of the equation: x. + the coefficient of x is the same as the slope of the line. Notice the constant term is the same as the y-value in the y-intercept (point b). In general, in an equation in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-value of the y-intercept of the line. x= 1: for the equation 2 x y+
