Question

In the slope-intercept form y = m x + b, what does the m and the b stand for? a. M = slope, b = y-intercept c. M = variable, b = slope b. M = y-intercept, b = slope d. M = slope, b = variable.

Answer 1

a. m = slope, b = y-intercept

Y-intercept is found when:

x = 0

y = m(0) + b

y = b
