'm' represents the slope of the line, and 'b' represents the y-intercept.

Back

'b' stands for the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean?

Back

A slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.
