The value of m is the slope and the value of b is the y intercept.
the slope of the line is -2 over 1 or -2 because the equation is in slope intercept form. Where y=mx+b. M is refered to as the slope and b is the y intercept.
You will learn MX+B in algebra. M is the slope, X can be any number, and B is the y-intercept. :)
It is slope intercept form. The equation for slope intercept form is y=mx+b which is like your equation y=5x+6
y = x + 2 Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b The slope, m, would be 1 and the y-intercept, b, would be 2
