Question

If you have the equation of different situations into y = mx + b, What do m and b represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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.
