  • Slope and intercept in real life

    The situation needs to describe what the dependent and independent variables are and what the slope and intercept means in terms of the real parameters. Here is the problem.

  • Reflection of a line across the line y = x

    Then that line is drawn and its reflection across the line y = x is obtained. The equation of the second line is determined, and key parameters for each line (namely, the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept) are computed.
