Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the term 'slope' refer to in the context of linear equations?
  • Step 1: Understand that a linear equation represents a straight line on a graph.
  • Step 2: The slope is a number that tells us how steep the line is.
  • Step 3: A positive slope means the line goes up as you move from left to right.
  • Step 4: A negative slope means the line goes down as you move from left to right.
  • Step 5: The slope can be calculated using the formula: (change in y) / (change in x).
  • Step 6: This means you look at how much the line goes up or down (y) compared to how much it goes left or right (x).
