Question

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b .

Answer 1

Answer:

$m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given as:

$y=mx+b$

Here, the coefficient of $x$ represents the slope of the line.

The coefficient of $x$ is $m$ and hence the slope.

y-intercept is the value of $y$ for which is $x$ is 0.

Now, if we put $x$ as 0 in the above equation, we get

$y=m(0)+b\\ y=0+b\\ y=b$

Therefore, y-intercept is $b$.

Hence, for the line with slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
