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.
