\" what is the slope of \"
\n" ); document.write( "\"i have never understood this so please explain thank you.\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Keep this in mind: The slope is the change in \"y\" when the
\n" ); document.write( "change in \"x\" is 1.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Try it:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x+3
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 1, then y = 2*1+3 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "y increased by 2 when x increased by 1
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is 2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Try it with y = -3x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "and you will see that the slope is -3.
\n" ); document.write( "Good Luck
