Understanding Slope and Y-Intercept
In a linear equation of the form $$y = mx + b$$, 'm' represents the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
- Slope (m): Describes the steepness and direction of the line. A positive slope means the line goes upwards from left to right, a negative slope means it goes downwards, and zero slope results in a horizontal line.
- Y-Intercept (b): The point where the line crosses the y-axis. It's the value of 'y' when 'x' is zero.
This tool helps you visualize how different values of slope and y-intercept change the graph of a line, making it easier to understand linear equations.
