-3x+2y=2

Slope = 3.000/2.000 = 1.500 x-intercept = 2/-3 = -0.66667 y-intercept = 2/2 = 1

So, Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 1.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 4.000 - 1.000 = 3.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN) Slope = 3.000/2.000 = 1.500 Slope = 3.000/2.000 = 1.500 x-intercept = 2/-3 = -0.66667 y-intercept = 2/2 = 1
