The slope is the magnitude of the line upwards or downwards, commonly referred to as "rise over run". The rise is how much the graph goes up in a certain distance, and the run is how much the graph goes over horizontally that same distance. To find the slope in that situation, you have to divide the rise by the run.

linear?
You can graph a linear equation slope intercept by solving the equation and plugging in the numbers : y=mx+b

The graph of a linear function is a line with a constant slope. The graph of an exponential function is a curve with a non-constant slope. The slope of a given curve at a specified point is the derivative evaluated at that point.
If it was linear to start with it will still be linear. The slope will change to its reciprocal. The y-intercept will be unchanged (but it will look different)
