You can call it a "number." To distinguish it from a variable expression, you can also call it a "constant."
It is called a constant.
Oops! That's not an equation. It has no 'equals' sign ( ' = ' ) in it, so it's just an 'expression' that stands for a number. The number that it stands for depends on the value of 'x', and any time 'x' changes, the value of the expression changes.
"m" stands for slope
You have to massage the equation around until it's in a standard form, with 'Y' all alone on one side of the equation, and everything else on the other side. It'll look like this:Y = (S)x + (B). 'S' and 'B' are just numbers.If you can get the equation of the line into this form, then the number 'S' is the slope of the line, and the number 'B' is the number on the y-axis where the graph of the line crosses that axis.
