From algebra recall that the slope is a number that describes the steepness of a line, and the \(y\)-intercept is the \(y\) coordinate of the point \((0, a)\) where the line crosses the \(y\)-axis.

In the equation \(y = a + b\text{x}\), the constant b that multiplies the \(x\) variable (\(b\) is called a coefficient) is called the slope.
