Question

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b .

What do m and b represent?


b is the slope, and m is the x-intercept.

b is the slope, and m is the y-intercept.

m is the slope, and b is the x-intercept.

m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 1

Explanation:

M is the slope ,and b is the y-intercept

Answer 2

`m` is the slope and
`b` is the y-intercept.

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given as:

`y=mx+b`

Here, the coefficient of
`x` represents the slope of the line.

The coefficient of
`x` is
`m` and hence the slope.

y-intercept is the value of
`y` for which is
`x` is 0.

Now, if we put
`x` as 0 in the above equation, we get

`y=m(0)+b\\ y=0+b\\ y=b`

Therefore, y-intercept is
`b`.

Hence, for the line with slope-intercept form
`y=mx+b`,
`m` is the slope and
`b` is the y-intercept.
