By now you may have found that any linear relation can be described using the standard linear equation y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept.

 

Notice that if the relation passes through the origin at point (0, 0), the equation can be reduced to y = mx. Equations that can be expressed as y = mx are direct linear relations.

 

Open Direct Linear Relations (y = mx) and move the slider to explore different values of m for y = mx.

 

 

This is a play button that opens Direct Linear Relations (y = mx).
