Does the value of the y-intercept effect the direction of the straight-line graph of a linear equation slope? Explain your answer.

Solution

No,

y-intercept shows where the line crosses the y-axis. It is obtained by putting x=0 in the equation of the straight line y=mx+b. Where m shows the clope of the line. Slope of the line is unaffect by the intercept of the line. For example lines

y=2x+9 and y=2x+6 has the same slope while they have different y-intercept.
