Question

What is Slope-Intercept Form?

Answer 1

`y = mx + b`

Where:
`m` is the slope of the line.
`b` is the y-intercept of the line.

Explanation:

Consider `y = x`

graph{y=x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

In this equation, the coefficient to `x` is 1 and our y-intercept is 0.

We could think of that equation as looking like:

`y = 1x + 0`

Notice that the graphed line has a "rise-over-run" of `1/1` which is just 1 and the line passing through the y-axis at `y=0`
