This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the slope-intercept form. When the line is graphed m is the slope of the line and b is where the line crosses the y-axis or the y-intercept. This line is sloping downward therefore it has a negative slope.
The equation can be in any form as long as its linear and and you can find the slope and y-intercept.
It falls to the ground at a rate of 025 feet per second. The slope is the number written before the x. M -32 slope b 3 y intercept Now write it out in slope intercept form y -32x 3. Keenly observe each graph and pen down the slope and y-intercept.
