Answer:

m = 2

b = 1

Explanation:

The slope formula is y = mx + b where mx is equal to the slope, or rate of change.

In the equation, y = 2x + 1 the slope is equal to 2x.

This means that mx = 2x.

However, you are just looking for m. This means that you must remove the variable and just use the coefficient.

m = 2.

In the formula y = mx + b, b is equal to the y-intercept.

In the equation, y = 2x + 1, the y-intercept is equal to 1.

This means that b = 1
