Answer:

slope intercept

Explanation:

the m is the slope: how far the line moves before a point( finding how steep the line is)

the x is the independent variable so whatever number is chosen for it will effect the y value

the b is the y intercept: where the line meets the y-axis

i hope this helps a little bit :)
