Exercise 25 Page 189

What do m and b represent in the slope-intercept form?

Slope: 23
y-intercept: - 12

Practice makes perfect

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 Let's rewrite our equation a little bit so that it more closely resembles this format. This will make it easier to identify the features of the equation. y= 2/3x+( - 12) We can see that the slope is 23 and the y-intercept is - 12.
