Slope-Intercept form

​

each letter represents something different

​

m = slope

b = y-intercept​

Multiple Choice

y = mx + b?

• y-intercept
• slope
• macaroni
• nothing

Multiple Choice

What does 'b" represent in
y = mx + b

• y-intercept

• y

• m

• x

• b

Multiple Choice

y = 7x + 9

Identify the slope

• m = 9

• m = -7

• m = 7x

• m = 7

Multiple Choice
