Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the term 'slope' in a linear equation represent?
  • Step 1: Understand that a linear equation is a mathematical way to describe a straight line on a graph.
  • Step 2: The slope is a number that tells us how steep the line is.
  • Step 3: If the slope is positive, the line goes up as you move from left to right.
  • Step 4: If the slope is negative, the line goes down as you move from left to right.
  • Step 5: The slope also tells us how much 'y' changes when 'x' changes by 1 unit.
  • Step 6: For example, if the slope is 2, it means for every 1 unit increase in 'x', 'y' increases by 2 units.
