5. Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
Sign In
What do m and b represent in y=mx+b?
Slope: -1/4
y-intercept: -5/2
Equations in slope-intercept form follow a specific format, where m represents the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
y= mx+ b
LHS-x=RHS-x
.LHS /4.=.RHS /4.
Calculate quotient
Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b. y= -1/4x+( -5/2) We can see that the slope is - 14 and the y-intercept is - 52.
