The equation y=mx+b, the slope of the line is represented by? Is the slope m?
Answered by bobpursley
Actually, "m" comes from the French Academy in the 1700's, from the French word to describe slope as we see it: m is short for the French word "montagne", or in English, Mountain.

Answered by Steve
yes! m is the slope.

That's why y=mx+b is called the "slope"-intercept form of the line.
