slope = M

What does Y represent in the slope-intercept form of a line (Y = mx + b)?

Y is the value of the dependent variable, which changes depending on the value of x.

What does the variable m represent in the equation Y = mx + b?

m is the slope of the line, indicating the steepness and direction.

What does a positive slope in a line indicate?

A positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right.

What does a negative slope in a line indicate?

A negative slope means the line falls as it moves from left to right.

How is the slope calculated between two points on the line?

The slope is calculated as (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1).

What does x represent in the equation Y = mx + b?

x is the value of the independent variable, selected freely to determine the corresponding Y value.

What is b in the slope-intercept form of a line?

b is the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

How can you find the y-intercept using the equation Y = mx + b?

The y-intercept can be found when x = 0.

What happens to Y when there is a 5 unit increase in x if the slope is 1/5?

Y increases by 1 unit.

What are the coordinates used to calculate the slope of the line in the example provided?

The coordinates are (0, 3) and (5, 4).
