What do m and b represent in y=mx+b?
Slope: -1
y-intercept: -6
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
Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b. y= -1x+( -6) We can see that the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -6.
