A y-intercept is a point where the graph of a function intersects with the y-axis of the coordinate system.
Letter B is used because it's not x, y or m, which are already used to name other parts of the graph, to avoid confusion. Any other letter would do just as nicely.

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 equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 5 and y-intercept of -3?

What are the slope and yintercept of line 5x 10y 15?
Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation
What would the equation of a line be if it went through the point 2 comma 2 and its yintercept was 10?
We know that the line passes through points (2, 2) and (0, 10) (since the y-intercept is 10).Using these two points, we can find the slope of the line,m = (10 - 2)/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = 4/-1 = -4.Now by using the slope, m = -4, and the y-intercept, 10, we can write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b which isy = -4x + 10.
What does the b stand for in an equation?
In an equation b or any other letters usually denotes the unknown variable.
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 and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?
There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.
What is a slope used for?

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 are the slope and yintercept of line 5x 10y 15?
Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation
