Line Equations

Slope-Intercept Form: y = 0.75x + 0
Point-Slope Form: y - 0 = 0.75(x - 0)
Standard Form:-0.75x + y = 0

Interpretation

Positive Slope: Line rises from left to right

Rise/Run: Vertical change over horizontal change

What is Slope?

Slope measures the steepness of a line. It's the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run).

Formula

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). A positive slope means the line rises; negative means it falls.

Applications

Used in construction (ramps, roofs), roads, economics (rates of change), and physics (velocity, acceleration).

Preguntas Frecuentes

What does zero slope mean?

The line is horizontal, with no incline.

When is slope undefined?

When the line is vertical (horizontal change = 0).

How do I interpret a slope of 2?

For every unit you move horizontally, you move up 2 units vertically.
