1502385808What is the slope of a lineSlope = Rise/Run0
1502385809What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line?An equation of the line that has slope m and y-intercept b is y=mx+b1
1502385810What is the equation of a vertical line?An equation of the vertical line through (a,b) is x=a. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.2
1502385811What is the equation of a horizontal line?An equation of the horizontal line through (a,b) is y=b. The slope of a horizontal line is 03
1502385812What are Parallel lines?Two non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope4
1502385813How do we use slope as a rate of change?When a line is used to model the relationship between two quantities, the slope of the line is the rate of change of one quantity with respect to the other.5
