As the slope of the line increases in value, the vertical distance becomes greater compared to the horizontal distance. Like in stairs or a roof, this results in the stairs and roof becoming steeper. The line becomes more vertical and steeper in its slant.
Identify the slope, m. This can be done by calculating the slope between two known points of the line using the slope formula.
Find the y-intercept. This can be done by substituting the slope and the coordinates of a point (x, y) on the line in the slope-intercept formula and then solve for b.
