Sign In
What do m and b represent in y=mx+b?
Slope: 5
y-intercept: 8
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= 5x+ 8 We can see that the slope is 5 and the y-intercept is 8.
