I realise there are questions asked similar to this, but I am still confused on the subject. It would be extremely helpful if explanations could be explained in-depth, but I could still understand what is being said.
How do equations in the form "y = mx + b" work, where this represents a straight line with slope m and y-intersect b?
Some example questions are listed. Not all of them have to be explained (though it would be appreciated).
1. State the slope and the y-intersect for "y = 3x + 5"
2. Write the equation of each line with the given slope of m = 2 and y-intersect of b = 3.
3. State the slope, y-intersect, and the equation for a line (a line on a graph is given with a right triangle along the line with the hypotenuse on the line, with the endpoints (0,1) and (2,2).
4. Determine the equation of a line (a line on a graph is given with two points, one at (-1,3) and the other at (3,-1).
Thanks for your time!
