Exercise 14 Page 312

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

Slope: - 0.2
y-intercept: 3

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 The given equation is already in this form. Below we have highlighted the slope m and y-intercept b. y= - 0.2x+ 3 We can see that the slope is - 0.2 and the y-intercept is 3.
