Question

Y=mx+b is used for what math equation

Answer 1

Y = mx + b is a linear equations.

Linear equations can be written in the form y = mx + b where the multiplier, m, or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the y represents the y-intercept of the line.

For example, the linear equation y = 3x + 7 has slope equal to 3 and a y-intercept equal to 7.

Answer 2

       y = m x + b is a linear equation. 
      This equation is in the slope - intercept form, where m is the slope and b is y - intercept.
       For example: y = 2 x + 5
       In this equation: m = 2 ( the slope ) and b = 5 ( the line intercepts y-axis at the point ( 0, 5 )  ).
