Answer:

C. m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Explanation:

The equation of straight line is usually expressed as:

y = mx + b

Where y is the vertical axis component

x is the horizontal axis component

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

At the y-intercept, x = 0

Also, the slope is the rise divided by the run.
