SOLUTION: If you change the slope in the equation y = 3x + 1 to y = 7x + 1, how will its graph change?

y = mx + b: m is the slope. When the slope is greater, the line is steeper. It appears to rotate towards the y-axis (clockwise).

y = 7x+1 is steeper than y = 3x + 1. Every y value is 7/3 higher for a corresponding x value.
