The slope of the line m is found by. Here is an example of a linear equation in slope-point form and the line it shows when plotted on a graph. The slope of a line is a measure of how fast it is changing.
A linear equation is an equation that describes a straight line.
The slope and y-intercept calculator takes a linear equation and allows you to calculate the slope and y-intercept for the equation. Thank you for being Super. In the equation y a b x the constant b that multiplies the x variable b is called a coefficient is called the slope. The general representation of the straight-line equationis ymxb where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
