Identifying the Parts of a Linear Function

What does m stand for in a Linear Function?

• The Slope

• The y-intercept (the place a function crosses the y-axis)

• The x coordinate

• The y coordinate

What does b stand for in a linear function?

• The Slope

• The y-Intercept (the place a function crosses the y-axis)

• The x coordinate

• The y coordinate

What is another term used for (x, y)
