What do you understand by 'parametric shift of a line'? How does a line shift when its:
(i) slope decreases, and 

(ii) its intercept increases?

Considering the equation of a straight line as
b = ma + ε

Where m = slope of straight line, m > 0
 ε = intercept on vertical axis, > 0
Also, when a increases by 1 unit, the value of b increases by m units.
The parameters and m are parameters of a graph.

As the value of m increases, the straight line rotates upward around the same vertical intercept. This movement is an example of parametric shift of the graph.
(i) A straight line rotates downward around the same vertical intercept as its slope decreases.
(ii) A straight line shifts parallelly upward when its intercept increases.
