y1=x
y2=3x
y3=2x
y4=5x
if y= mx+b, what does the canging m do to the graph of the line
it changes the slope right?

if you increase "m", yes, you are increasing the slope... the bigger M gets.... the bigger the value of your function. (y) gets.

M is the gradient and changes how steep the line is...
if M= 1 then the rise/run is equal to 1/1
if m = 2 then the rise/run is equal to 2up 1 across

yes m signifies the slope and as m changes the slope changes.

yea changes the slope

yes, m is the slope.

yes, m=slope = delta y / delta x = (y2-y1) /( x2-x1)
