Question

If you have the equation of different situations into y = mx + b, What do m and b represent?

A
m represents the y-intercept and b represents the slope.
B
m represents the growth and b represents the initial value.
m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
D
m represents the growth and b represents the Figure #0.

Answer 1

C. m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Explanation:

The equation of straight line is usually expressed as:

y = mx + b

Where y is the vertical axis component

x is the horizontal axis component

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

At the y-intercept, x = 0

Also, the slope is the rise divided by the run.
