Question

Help me out the meaning

Answer 1

slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

the y-intercept is the place on the y-axis (vertical) where the line crosses. In this problem, the line crosses at (0,4), meaning the y-intercept is 4.

y = mx + 4

the slope is technically the rate of change (rise over run) bewteen points.

If you take the distance from point (-1,3) and (0,4) you get a slope of 1/1, or just 1

y = 1x +4

this could also be:

y = x + 4

(because the 1 is invisible but still there)
