Answer 1

For your questions:

1. The equation \( y = mx + b \) is classified as **Linear**. This is because it represents a linear relationship between \( x \) and \( y \).

2. In the formula \( y = mx + b \), the \( m \) stands for **slope**. The slope \( m \) indicates the rate of change of \( y \) with respect to \( x \).
