5. Graphing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
Sign In
What do m and b represent in y=mx+b?
Slope: 7
y-intercept: 1/2
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+2y=RHS+2y
.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.
Calculate quotient
Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b. y= 7x+ 1/2 We can see that the slope is 7 and the y-intercept is 12.
