Hii student!

__________________________________________________________

Answer:

Option [B]. Which is
\multimap\boldsymbol{the\,slope}

Explanation:

Let's examine the equation
\textsl{y=mx+b}.

In this equation m denotes the slope and b denotes the y-intercept.

The quantity that denotes the slope, or gradient, is multiplied times x, andd b, the y intercept, is added to the product of m and x.


\boldsymbol{\therefore,\,option\;[B]\,is\,correct!}

Hope that this helped! Best wishes.
