y=mx has a slope of m, if the slope is 0, m must be 0. So the coefficient of x is 0.

Is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form for a line with slope 2 and y-intercept at (0 3)?
If the slope is 2 and the coordinate is (0, 3) then the equation is y = 2x+3
What is the optimum point on a graph?
The maximum. At this point the slope will be 0.
What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form for a line with slope 4 and y-intercept at (0 2)?
If you mean a slope of 4 and points of (0, 2) then the equation is y = 4x+2.
How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?
First write it in the "slope-intercept" form : y = mx + c Then the y-intercept is (0, c)
What is the slope of the line whose equation is y - equals 0?
y = 0That's the equation of the x-axis.Its slope is zero.
What is the meaning of negative coefficient of x?
In the form y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept and m is the coefficient, so if an equation has a negative coefficient, m<0. As a graph, the slope of the line is negative.
State the slope and the y-intercept for the graph of the equation y-2?
If that should be y = 2 the slope is 0 and the y intercept is 2.
Find the equation of the line perpendicular when the slope is zero?
when the slope is 0, the graph is a horizontal line on the x axis so the y axis is perpendicular to it, which can be written x=0
What is The graph of a line passes through the points (0 -2) and (6 0). What is the equation of the line?
Points: (0, -2) and (6, 0) Slope: 1/3 Equation of line: 3y = x-6
What is a linear graph?
A linear graph is a model of a straight line on the X and Y axis. It represents the equation y=mx+b. A liner graph has a slope. A liner graph cannot be equaled to 0.
Does a graph of a linear equation always have an x intercept?
No; if the slope is zero and it is above or below y=0 it will not have an x intercept.
How do you graph a line in slope intercept for?
1) You write the equation in slope-intercept form, if it isn't in that form already. 2) An easy way to graph it is to start with the y-intercept. For example, if the intercept is +5, you graph the point (0, 5). Then you add an additional point, according to the slope. For example, if the slope is 1/2, you go 2 units to the right, and one up, and graph a point there.
How do you change standardform in to slop intercept form?
The standard form of the equation of a line is written as: Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are real numbers, and A and B are not both 0. When we want to graph an equation that is written in general form, we can solve the equation for y and write the equation in slope-intercept form. Example: Transform the equation 2x + 4y = 8 into its slope-intercept form, and graph the equation. Solution: 2x + 4y = 8 subtract 2x to both sides; 4y = - 2x + 8 divide by 4 to both sides; y = - (1/2)x + 2 This is the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) of the equation 2x + 4y = 8. The coefficient of x, -(1/2), is the slope, and the y-intercept is 2. Now we are able to graph the line using the fact that the y-intercept is 2, and the slope is -(1/2). Start at the point (0, 2), go to the right 2 units and then down 1 unit (since the slope is -(1/2))to the point (2, 1). Then draw the line that passes through the points (0, 2) and (2, 1).
What is the slope of a line defined by the equation 3x plus y minus 4?
3x + y - 4 = 0 y = -3x + 4 The slope is equivalent to the coefficient term of 'x', also known as 'm'. Therefore, the slope is -3.
Is y equals -3 a liner equation?
Yes, it is a linear equation with no slope. The graph is a straight line (parallel to the x-axis) that passes through the y-axis, at {0,-3}
How do you graph an equation written in y equals mx plus b form?
You draw a straight line through (0,b) which has a slope of m.
Why use slopes?
The slope of a graph provides general information about a graph. It tells you how much the y value of the graph increases (or decreases, if the slope is negative) for a given increase in x value. if you look at the general equation of a graph y = a x + b the value "a" represents the slope and the "b" value represents the value of y when x = 0. When the graph is not a straight line, the discussion gets more complicated, however the slope still describes changes in the value of the graph (you have to use calculus for this situation.)
