If you're given an existing point and the slope of the line, then yes - the y-intercept depends on the slope.

What is the absolute value of the slope of a line?
answer
When the absolute value of the slope get smaller does the graph of a line gets shorter?
Not necessary because the line can have no slope at all and be as long as you want it to be.
When the absolute value of the slope gets smaller the graph of a line gets what?
When the slope of a line reaches zero it then will be parallel to the x or y axes depending if its a positive or a negative slope.
What happens when the value of the slope gets smaller?
The line gets less steep.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What is the point-slope equation of the line with slope that goes through the point (-3 5) in point slope equation?
That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
What are the slope and yintercept of line 5x 10y 15?
Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation
How do you write an equation of a line that passes through the xintercep and yintercept?
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 5 and y-intercept of -3?

Which value for slope represents the steepest line?
The slope of a line is the change in y coordinates divided by the change in x coordinates. Zero is the slope of a flat line. The steeper the line, the greater the value of the slope. For instance a slope of 587 is steeper than a slope of 48. A vertical line is not given a slope measurement - it is said to be indeterminate, so there is no representation for the "steepest" line. An extremely steep line will have a slope value approaching plus or minus infinity.
What is the absolute value of the slope of a line?

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope that contains the point (-2 1)?
The equation of the line will also depend on its slope which has not been given and so an answer is not possible.
What is a line that only has a y and has a zero slope?
A line with a constant y-value and a slope of 0 is known as a horizontal line.
What is an negative slope?
A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.
What is the slope of a line that passes through (-8-16) and(185)?
That will depend on what (185) represents but the slope of a line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
What can you determine about the steepness of a line in terms of its slope?
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
Is slope the same as initial value?
No, slope and initial value are not the same. The slope refers to the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, whereas the initial value represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
