What are some questions that you can ask once you know the equation of a line. The equation of a line is y=mx+b. The b equals the y intercept The m equals the slope. A question you might ask is "What is the slope?" I will answer you by saying "The slope is how much you go up by. For example the slope is rise over run. Say the rise is 1 and the run is 2. You would shoe that on a line graph. The line intercept is 2. You start at 2 and go up one and over to the right 2.
Another question you might ask would be " Well, what if the number on top is negative. Then what would the slope be?"I will answer you by saying"If the number on top is negative then you would either go down 1 over to the right 2. Otherwise you would have to switch the negative to the bottom. Then you would go 1/-2. You would go up one and to the left 2."
