Exercise 27 Page 78

What do m and b represent in y=mx+b?

Equation: y=7
Slope: 0
y' -intercept:' 7

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=7 ⇒ y= 0x+ 7 We can see that the slope is 0 and the y-intercept is 7.
