need somebody to help me by explaining slopes and y-intercepts directly to me, I would very kindly apreciate it.!

Question

anonymous · Answer

Y-intercept is where the x-coordinate becomes zero. For example, for an equation,say, y=3x+2 , putting x=0 yields y=2 which is the y intercept. And as for slope, are you asking that for a straight line or any general curve?

anonymous · Answer

I believe it is a linear equation im looking for but it wouldnt really matter.

anonymous · Answer

looking at the problems, most of them seem to be linear.

IF you are looking for the definition of slope for a straight line, it is the angle that the line makes with the +ve x axis. In case of a curve, you have to consider the tangent line and find the angle it makes with +ve x axis. There is yet another definition of slope given as following:|dw:1391884354614:dw|
