For the line y 15x 6 List the values of the slope and the

For the line y = 1.5x + 6.

List the values of the slope and the y-intercept.

Explain how those values relate to the graph of the equation.

Solution

y = 1.5x + 6

Std equation of slope intercept equation of line : y = mx + c

where m is slope and c is the y intercept

Comapring with std equation: m = 1.5 ; c ( y intrecept) =6

slope of 1.5 is the rate of change of y with respect to x.

c = 6 is thepoint where line cuts y axis ( 0, 6)
