What is Slope & Why is it Important?
Using any 2 points on a straight line will compute to the same slope.

2.3 3
The Dope on Slope On a graph, the average rate of change is
the ratio of the change in y to the change in x For straight lines, the slope is the rate of change between any 2
different points The letter m is used to signify a line’s slope The slope of a line passing through the two points (x1,y1) and
(x2,y2) can be computed:
Horizontal lines (like y = 3 ) have slope 0 Vertical lines (like x = -5 ) have an undefined slope Parallel lines have the same slope m1 = m2
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes m1=-1/m2

Slope Intercept Form of a Straight Line f(x) = mx + b or y = mx + b
Both lines have the same slope, m = 2

Using b to identify the y-intercept point (0,b)
the above y-intercepts are: (0,0) and (0,-2) What’s the y-intercept of y = -5x + 4 (0,4) What’s the y-intercept of y = 5.3x - 12 (0,-12)
