Answer:

Y=(Slope)x+Y intercept

Explanation:

so basically (m) is always your slope and (b) is where the line meets the y line

y=2x+1 would be a like that moves 2 up and one right (So a slope of 2) and intercepts at 1

Step-by-step explanation: This is called slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form.

The multiplier or the m represents slope and the b or the

constant term represents the y-intercept.

I have shown you 4 examples of

equations in y = mx + b form below.
