What do you need to write a linear equation for a linear relationship?
A Y-intercept and the slope. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis.
Are linear relationships proportional?
A relationship that occurs when variable quantities are directly proportional to one another. A linear relationship can be represented on a graph as a STRAIGHT LINE. Linear relationships always follow the formula: y=mx+b where y is the value of the y-coordinate, where my is the slope of the line, where x is the value of the x-coordinate, and b is the y-intercept
How can you tell if an equation is a linear relationship?
If it is in a y=mx+b format. Also, if there is a slope and a constant in the equation.
How do you identify a slope given in a linear equation?
To identify the slope in a linear equation, rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b. The term m is the slope.
How can you tell from a linear equation which direction it goes without graphing the equation?
You must find the slope, if it is positive, then the line is always increasing. If it is negative, then the line is always decreasing.
