Answer:

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 (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis).

Answer:

We can use the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). The x-intercept is found by setting y = 0, because that will give us the x-value at which the line crosses the x-axis.
