Types of Slope
Line increases left to right
Positive
y = 3x + 2
2
y = -1/2x + 3
-1/2
slope = -2
y-intercept = 3
y = -2x + 3
What is slope intercept form
y = mx + b
Line is horizontal
Zero
y = -4x
0
y = 5 + 2x
2
b = 3
m = 1/2
y = 1/2x + 3
What does m stand for in slope intercept form?
slope
Line is vertical
Undefined
y = -3 - 1/2x
-3
y = -3/5x - 4
-3/5
m = -2/3
