Answer #1

The Y-Intercept is equal to negative gravity times mew times the cosine of theta. By changing the Y-Intercept, you are directly affecting the slope. This is due to the fact that the angle measurement is considered in both the Y-Intercept and slope. When the angle is steeper, the Y-Intercept is smaller and vice versa. SO when you set the Y-Intercept to 0, the means you are dealing with a frictionless surface. And friction would only increase the slope.
