Exercise 59 Page 566

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

F

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=3x-4 ⇔ y= 3x+( - 4) We can see that the y-intercept is - 4. Therefore, we obtained the answer F.
