Slope is the ratio of rise to run.

Meaning: rise is the change in y value (height, rise). Run is the change in x value (run).

It is calculated as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

It is often represented by the letter m.

Y-intercept is the y value at which your curve crosses the y-intercept. Put another way, it's the y-value when x=0 (the y-axis).

Hope this helps.
