A way to remember how to do it, is to do change in y over change in x method. I know this because I did a lesson on linear functions not to long ago.
You can also remember it by using the rise over run method, which is the same thing as the change in y over change in x method.
i need help with linear functions with ways to remeber them easier

if something is proportional to something else plus a constant, you can draw a straight line of form
y = m x + b
where m is the slope
and b is that constant that y has when x = 0
y = m x + b
where m is the slope
and b is that constant that y has when x = 0
Yes, as Brady said
m = slope = change in y / change in x
which is exactly rise/run
m = slope = change in y / change in x
which is exactly rise/run
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have a test tomorrow and both of these will really help
Good luck !
Your welcome Mackenzie. I hope you do good on your test tomorrow!
