Question

1. y = mx +b is the equation for slope-intercept form. a. What does the m represent in an equation written in slope-intercept form: (1 point) b. What does the b represent in an equation written in slope-intercept form: (1 point)

Answer 1

In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis.
