Question

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation? explain why this form is called the slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer: The slope intercept form of a linear equation has the following form where the equation is solved for y in terms of x: y = a + bx. b is the slope. a is a constant term. It is the y intercept, the place where the line crosses the y axis.

Hope this helps:)

Answer 2

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+b. m being the slope (part one of name) and b being the y-intercept (part 2 of name).
