the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality
however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.
initial value of 3, namely when x = 0, y = 3, so we have the point (0 , 3) and it has a rate or slope of 3/4.
[tex](\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{3}{4} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{4}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x+3[/tex]
