y-intercept
x-intercept
slope
equation of a line

Answer 1

- y-intercept: The point where a line crosses the y-axis; the value of y when x = 0.
- x-intercept: The point where a line crosses the x-axis; the value of x when y = 0.
- slope: The steepness of a line; the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.
- equation of a line: The mathematical representation that describes a line in terms of its slope and y-intercept.
