How are the parameters (i.e. coefficients) of the terms on the right side of the equation of the line made visible in the graph itself? Explain.
The blueprint equation of a non-vertical line is [math]y=slope\cdot x+y_{intercept}[/math]. [br][br][color=#38761d][b]The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point at which the line crosses the y-axis.[/b][/color][br][br][color=#9900ff][b]The slope of the line is the amount by which the output (y-value) of function increases (or decreases) when the input increases by 1 unit.
