It is useful to have slopes in fractional form because it helps avoid rounding errors. For example, suppose y = 1/3*x + 5
Then for x = 3, y = 6
But if you write the slope as 0.33, then y = 5.99 - not 6.

Can a slope intercept form have a fraction as the y intercept?
Yes
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
What does m stand for in the slope-intercept form?
Slope!
What is the standard form of a slope?
In the standard form of a linear equation:y = mx + bm is the slope* * * * *The above is the slope-intercept form, not the standard form, which isax + by + c = 0The standard form can be converted to the slope intercept form by rearranging, as follows:by = -ax - cso y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)And then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).
What is the slope intercept form of this equation?
The slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Without the specific equation, it is not possible to determine the values of m and b for the slope-intercept form.
Can a slope intercept form have a fraction as the y intercept?
Yes
How do you find the slope when you have a fraction?
The slope can be a fraction.
Is it possible to have a fraction for your slope?
Yes, the slope can be a fraction; and can be less than one or negative.
What is the slope of the line given by the equation below If necessary use the slash mark for a fraction bar y equals 12x?
y = 12x or y = 12x + 0 This equation is in the form of slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Thus, the slope is 12.
Can you overwrite on a federal tax deposit form?
Federal Tax Deposit (FTD) is accumulated from your income tax and employer's FICA share. However, you may not overwrite on this form. If you would like to overwrite, that is unfortunate because you are not able to.
Can a slope be a fraction?
yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.
Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?
Only if it happens to BE a whole number. As you probably know, you can't "convert" a fraction to a whole number, without losing precision. But the slope may well happen to be a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, -1, etc. (or close enough to a whole number).
Can you have an improper fraction for slope of a line?
Why not? m=4/3 is a perfectly good slope
When calculating slope which variable goes on top of the fraction?
The equation for slope = rise / run
How do you convert slope intercept form to standard form?
y = mx + b, just subtract mx to both sides -mx + y = b. If the slope is a fraction, it is nice to eliminate the denominator first, so go and multiply each term at both sides by the denominator. If both, the slope and the constant, are fractions, multiply each term at both sides by their least common denominator.
How do you solve slope and equations?
The slope is the rise/over run of a line. The equation of a line is usually written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you can take two points on a line, find how much the line goes up (or down) between the two, and divide it by how much the lines moves to the right. Usually the slope is left in the simplest fraction form.
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
