Based on the previous Slope-Intercept question what

Question

Does the slope of your equation represent? What does the y-intercept of your equation represent?

Answer 1

The y-intercept represents the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. 

The slope represents rise/run.

For example, if the y-intercept is 3 and the slope is -2/5, you would place a point on (0,3) then go down 2 and 5 to the right and place another point. Connect the two points to graph your line.

y = (-2/5)x + 3
