Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
y ≡ the y-coordinate of a given point on the line
m ≡ the slope
x ≡ the x-coordinate of a given point on the line
b ≡ the y-intercept, where the line crosses the vertical axis

What Do Variables Represent

m = slope
b = where the line intercepts at the y axis (at x=0)
x and y are variables

x is the independent variable and represents the value of x at any point on the x -axis that is in its domain.
y = f(x) is the dependent variable and represents the value of f(x) at any particular value of x. The different values that y can take on is called the range of f(x).

m is slope
the y and x are the coordinates (x,y)
b is the y intercept
hope this helps pz out
