Slope

1.

It's a measure of a line's steepness. Positive slope means upward slant, negative slope means downward, zero slope is horizontal, and undefined slope is vertical.

Slope-Intercept Form

2.

The equation of a line is y = mx + b. 'm' is slope, 'b' is y-intercept (where it crosses the y-axis).

Y-Intercept

3.

 It's the point where the line hits the y-axis (x=0). Helps find the starting value in linear relationships.

Parallel & Perpendicular

4.

Lines with the same slope are parallel; lines with negative reciprocal slopes are perpendicular.
