The equation for a line that is not a "vertical line" is often given in the form
where and are constants.
That form of the equation is called the slope-intercept form
is equivalent to <--> , which is written in the traditional slope-intercept form.
Slope is the number multiplied times .
In the case of the number is .
Half of that is
.
The other term, is the y-intercept.
The slope-intercept form for a line with the same y-intercept but half the slope of the line is
, which is equivalent to
