Exercise 51 Page 79

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

Slope: undefined
y' -intercept:' none

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 Observe the given equation. x=-3 The equation describes a vertical line. This type of lines has undefined slope and noy-intercept because there is no point that has x-coordinate equal to 0.
