It is the equation of a straight line
Y = 2X + 8 is a linear function of the form, Y = mX + c. A line.
same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
m
yes

There is no difference; it is a matter of choice and convention as to what letter is used.
The x in y=mx+b is the independent variable. You could solve for x, making this a function of y, with simple algebra. y = mx + b y - b = mx (y-b)/m = x
b = y - mx.
y = mx + b y - mx = b
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
m
Yes.
It is: y = x+5 in y = mx+b form
