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.

How do you graph a linear equation slope intercept?

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


Does in linear graphs the slope of the line change with the x-coordinate?

No. A linear graph has the same slope anywhere.

How does the graph of an exponential function differ from the graph of a linear function and how is the rate of change different?

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.


What is the slope of a speed time linear graph?

The slope of a speed-time linear graph represents acceleration. If the line is flat (zero slope), the object is moving at a constant speed. A positive slope indicates acceleration, while a negative slope represents deceleration.


Please help -- How does the slope and y-intercept change if you reverse the x and y axis of a linear graph. Will the graph still be linear?

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)

It does not change.


. The slope of a speed-time linear graph is . acceleration velocity speed direction?

The slope of a speed-time linear graph represents acceleration. It indicates how quickly the speed of an object is changing over time.


What is a linear graph?

A linear graph is a model of a straight line on the X and Y axis. It represents the equation y=mx+b. A liner graph has a slope. A liner graph cannot be equaled to 0.
