Exercise 10 Page 321

What do m and b represent in the Slope-Intercept Form?

Slope: 1/5
y-intercept: 3

Practice makes perfect
Let's recall the Slope-Intercept Form of a line, where m represents the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

y= mx+ b The given equation is already in this form. Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b. y= 1/5x+ 3 We can see that the slope is 15 and the y-intercept is 3.
