2 Answers

The slope-intercept form is simply the way of writing the equation of a line so that the slope (steepness) and y-intercept (where the line crosses the vertical y-axis) are immediately apparent. Often, this form is called y = mx + b form.

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in a number of ways, one of which is the slope intercept form.

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is also the standard form of an equation which can be represented by:


y = m x + c

where
y is the y-coordinate,


m is the slope of the line,


x is the x coordinate; and


c is the y intercept.
