slope intercept form

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, representing the value of y when x = 0.
