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.)
If B=0, then the graph does not depend on the value of y. This is a vertical line at x = C/A
[ y = mx + b ] is.m = the slope of the graphed lineb = the 'y' value where the graphed line crosses the y-axis.
Take the largest value in the graph and subtract the smallest value from it.
The graph at the right shows a function, f, graphed on the domain 0 less equal x less equal 8. The section from A to B is a straight segment. The section from B to C is represented by y = (x - 5)². graph split Find the slope of the segment from A to B. Find the x-coordinate of the relative minimum value of the graph from B to C. Find the value of f (3) + f (4) + f (6) + f (7).
