1. Define slope in your own words and explain its significance in the context of a line on a graph.
2. Given two points on a line: (2, 3) and (5, 7), calculate the slope using the formula (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁).
3. If the slope of a line is 4 and it passes through the point (1, 2), write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
