In slope-intercept form, the "m" is where the

goes.

1 answer

In slope-intercept form, which is written as \( y = mx + b \), the "m" represents the slope of the line. The slope indicates how steep the line is and the direction it goes. Specifically, it measures the change in \( y \) for a one-unit increase in \( x \). The "b", on the other hand, represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
