Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.
