The slope tells you how much the graph is increasing or decreasing as you go up by one x. The y intercept tells you the initial value of the function when the x = 0. The slope affects the graph by telling how steep or flat it is and whether it is positive or negative. The y intercept affects the graph by determining where the graph crosses the y axis.

What is the importance of the slope (rate of change) and the y-intercept in a linear function? How do they affect the graph? by Mr. Robert Orta
