As my math teacher would say, the Math gods just picked those random variables to represent these things. There is no specific reason to my knowledge.

How do you find the slope and y-intercept of an equation?
first of all, i dont see how slope and yintercept has anything to do with shopping. usually in an equation, y= mx+b, m stands for slope, and b is the y-intercept. x and y are just x and y. If the equation is mixed up, and is not in y=mx+b format, you need to solve to get y on one side, the slope, x, and whatever the presented constant is (which is the y-intercept) on the other side. hope this helps.
What is the slope and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?
There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.
How do you find b of a slope?
y=mx+b m=slope b=y-intercept
What is point slope form of an equation of a line?
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 5 and y-intercept of -3?

What is a slope used for?
It shows the relationship of y in terms of x. [y = (yIntercept) + ((slope)*(x))] [slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)]
What is the slope and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?
There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.

How do you write an equation of a line that passes through the xintercep and yintercept?
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
What is the slope of 2x plus y equals 4?
The standard form of the equation is y = mx + b. m is the slope of the line. So the answer is 2. M = Slope B = Y - Intercept
How do you find b of a slope?
y=mx+b m=slope b=y-intercept
What is the 'Slope Intercept Form'?
y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept
What is point slope form of an equation of a line?
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
What is Slope Equation?
y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
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
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
