What do m and b represent in the Slope-Intercept Form?
Slope: -3/4
y-intercept: 3
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
LHS-3x=RHS-3x
.LHS /4.=.RHS /4.
Commutative Property of Addition
Now our equation is in Slope-Intercept Form. Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b. y= -3/4x+ 3 We can see that the slope is - 34 and the y-intercept is 3.
