The Coordinate Plane is really called the Cartesian Plane, which was developed by a french Mathematician, named Renee Descartes. He described the slope as "climbing" up or down a line (from left to right). The french word for "climb" is "monte" (with an accent over the 'e'). That's why he used 'm' for slope.

What is the 'Slope Intercept Form'?
y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept
How do you find Slope intercept equation of given two points?
Use the equation; y=mx+b where m is the slope Use your 2 points as y and b (intercept)
What is point intercept form?
Point slope? y=mx+b M being the slope, and b being the y-intercept.
If the slope of a line is 4 and the y intercept is negative 2 what is the linear equation in the slope intercept form?
slope intercept form is y=mx+b (m is slope, b is y intercept) slope = 4, y intercept = -2 y = 4x -2
Is the x intercept the same as the slope?
No. In a linear equation, y = mx + b, the slope is m, and the x intercept is where mx + b = 0.
How do you get a slope and the y-intercept in an equation?
you use mx+b m is slope. m always has to be next to x b is y intercept
How do you use slope intercept form?
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept. x and y are variables
How do you get a slope intercept slope?
Slope intercept is an equation of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
What is the 'Slope Intercept Form'?
y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept
What is an example of a slope intercept equation that has a negative slope and a positive intercept?
y=mx+b is the slope intercept equation m=slope b= y-intercept y=-7x + 2 m= -7 b= +2
What is the slope intercept form of this equation?
The slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Without the specific equation, it is not possible to determine the values of m and b for the slope-intercept form.
The slope-intercept equation of a line is y equals mx plus b where m is the x-intercept?
Not quite. 'm' is the slope of the line. 'b' is the y-intercept The x-intercept is ( -b/m ).
What is the slope intercept form of the equation of a line with a slope 2 and a y intercept of -4?
6
What is the equation for slope intercept form?
y=mx+b (b is the y-intercept, and m is the slope)
What is the formula for slope-intercept form?
y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept
Slope intercept form of equation?
y=mx+b (m=slope b=y-intercept)
How do you find Slope intercept equation of given two points?
Use the equation; y=mx+b where m is the slope Use your 2 points as y and b (intercept)
