Exercise 43 Page 313

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

Slope: 2-a
y-intercept: a

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=( 2-a)x+ a We can see that the slope is 2-a and the y-intercept is a.
