Intro to slope-intercept form. The slope is m or the coefficient of x in the equation. Varying terms are numbers like or where the number changes depending on what you plug into the variable or letterConstant terms are numbers like or where the number never changes.
The slope of a line on the coordinate plane basically tells you how steep the line is.
The slope of a straight line describes the lines angle of steepness from the horizontal whether it rises or falls. It is based on the slope. When a linear equation is written in slope intercept form the slope of the line can easily be identified. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line that is not the y-intercept.
