Question
### Vocabulary

**Instructions:** Drag and drop the correct definition to each term.

1. **Slope** \
   [ __ ] = [ __ ] / [ __ ]
2. **Y-Intercept** \
   [ __ ] = [ __ ]

### Available Terms:
- \( x_2 - x_1 \) 
- \( y_2 - y_1 \)
- \( b \)
- \( m \)
- \( 0 \)

In the given image, the structure suggests that learners need to match parts of the slope and y-intercept equations to their respective terms. The drag-and-drop interaction enhances engagement and understanding by allowing students to actively participate in the learning process.

**Explanation of Terms:**
- **Slope (\( m \))** is defined as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two distinct points on a line. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
  \[
  \text{Slope} = m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
  \]
- **Y-Intercept (\( b \))** is the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis. It is the value of \( y \) when \( x \) is 0:
  \[
  \text{Y-Intercept} = b = 0
  \]

This exercise is designed to help students understand and differentiate between key concepts in linear equations.
