Why cant you find ymx b to find the equation of a vertical line?
Because in a vertical line the slope is undefined, there is no "y" answer or "b" value and the line is in the form of x = some number such as x = 3 which is a vertical line.
How do you use the slope and y- intercept in the equation ymx b to graph the line?
If you mean: y = mx+b then it is the formula for a straight line equation whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Which letter represents the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation of a line ymx b?
If you mean: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
In the linear equation ymx b what does the b stand for?
In the equation Y=mx+b, which is what I believe you mean, 'b' is the y intercept of the graph. In other words, if the equation is plotted in standard Cartesian coordinates, the straight line crosses the y-axis at the height b above the x axis.
Given the equation of a line how is the slope calculated?
If the equation of a line is in the form ax + by + c = 0 then the slope of the line will be -a/b.
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is ymx plus b where m is the slope of the line?
If you mean: y = mx+b then the slope of the line is m and the y intercept is b
An equation often written in ymx b?
You're talking about y=mx+b which is the standard line equation.
Why is the equation ymx b called the slope-intercept form?
y=m*x+b is called the slope-intercept form because it describes a line where m is the slope and b is the point on the y-axis that the line intercepts.
Why cant you find ymx b to find the equation of a vertical line?
Because in a vertical line the slope is undefined, there is no "y" answer or "b" value and the line is in the form of x = some number such as x = 3 which is a vertical line.
How do you use the slope and y- intercept in the equation ymx b to graph the line?

Which letter represents the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation of a line ymx b?
If you mean: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
What letter represents the y intercept in the slope intercept equation of a line ymx plus b?
If you mean y = mx+b then the slope is m and the y intercept is b
In the linear equation ymx b what does the b stand for?
In the equation Y=mx+b, which is what I believe you mean, 'b' is the y intercept of the graph. In other words, if the equation is plotted in standard Cartesian coordinates, the straight line crosses the y-axis at the height b above the x axis.
What is the general form for a line equation?
General form for a line equation is: y=mx+b.
How do you find slope from equation ymx b?
The m is the slope in the y=mx+b or the number before the x.
How does changing m affect the graph of an equation in the form ymx plus b?
It rotates the graph about the point (0, b). The greater the value of m, the more steeply it rises to the right.
What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + b, where "m" represents the slope of the line and "b" represents the y-intercept.
