Question

When dealing with word problems and linear equations, what does the y-intercept represent and how is the slope defined?



a.

y-intercept represents the final value, slope is increasing

c.

y-intercept represents the starting value, slope is the rate of change


b.

y-intercept represents the final value, slope is decreasing

d.

y-intercept represents the starting value, slope is decreasing

Answer 1

hint... Slope = Rate of Change formula

Answer 2

y= mx +b
slope = rise over run
