Answer:

The variable <em>b</em><em> </em>represents the y-intercept, where the line intersects the y-axis.

The variable <em>m</em><em> </em>represents the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]. The formula for the slope is down below:

\frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m

This is another way of saying \frac{rise}{run}.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

In the slope intercept formula

m is the slope  (\frac{rise}{run})

b is the y-intercept (the y-value of where the line intersects the y-axis)

Hope this helped!
