Determine the slope of the following linear relation.

Slope is:

m=  2/2

 =1

What is the y-intercept of all of these graphs? 

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis, so the y-intercept of all of these graphs is 0.  

b=0

The y-intercept is

A. the value of the independent variable when the dependent variable is zero; sometimes called the initial value.

B. the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is greater than zero; sometimes called the initial value.

C. the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero; sometimes called the zero value.

D. the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero; sometimes called the initial value.
