Hi student! Let me help you out.

\multimap\textsl{y=mx+b and y=mx+c are the same thing}

In both equations m denotes the gradient and b and c denote the y intercept.

y=mx+b is used for linear equations, finding gradients and y intercepts of lines, finding what points are on and off the line, etc.

Hope that this helped! Best wishes.

y=mx+c is the equation for a line graph, m is the gradient and c is where it goes through the y axis, the only difference between y=mx+c and y=mx+b is where u live as in different countries learn it different ways but it is still the same thing
