The graph of any nonvertical line can be represented by an equation in the form

Question

A m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

B y = mx + b

C b = mx

D y = bx + m

Answer 1

The correct representation of the graph of any nonvertical line is given by:

B y = mx + b

In this equation, $y$ represents the output (dependent variable), $x$ represents the input (independent variable), $m$ is the slope of the line, and $b$ is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Options A, C, and D do not represent the standard form of a linear equation.
