Looking at the slope of a line, it represents the degree of its incline, which is determined by dividing the difference in height (rise) by the difference in width (run). The y-intercept signifies the location where the line intersects the y-axis. Together, these two elements construct a linear equation y=mx+b, with m symbolizing the slope and b representing the y-intercept.
