If a line equation is of the form 31b6f758_ac09_4ba5_b8a8_c9ef0ee7388f_SMCC4506_11, the value of 01b477a5_bbd8_4de2_b64b_6aeadd6e1491_SMCC4506_11 represents the slope of the lines and 999baf98_97a0_4d2e_a8f8_b7d5ff5836f3_SMCC4506_11 represents the 7ae4de94_9e00_4594_9915_71d8e3d0b15a_SMCC4506_11intercept.

For the line equation b9833384_f99a_4ded_9a5d_24c038819a30_SMCC4506_11, the slope is 4.

For the line equation 220fab97_ef83_4eee_b530_80e318c77d16_SMCC4506_11, the slope is 0.001.

For the line equation a3d88360_f7eb_4ae1_9205_faf402be04ea_SMCC4506_11, the slop is 35eed08d_ce19_41e2_9bb8_d698166d16a6_SMCC4506_11.
