y = mx +b typically known as sope-intercept form, can be determined based on the following:
Given: Two points on the function's line (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). You can first determine the slope of the equation using rise over run. Then by substituting a point on the line for x and y, you can determine any other constants.
Example: (1,0) and (5,9)
Slope:
m = (9-0) / (5-1)
m = 9/4
Substitution: (1,0)
0 = (9/4)(1) + b
b = -(9/4)
Alternatively a function can be listed in general form (Ax + By + C = 0), or standard form (Ax + By = C).
To get the equation into slope-intercept form, one must isolate the variables as needed.
Example:
Ax + By + C = 0
By = -Ax - C
y = -(Ax+C)/B and simplify

Yes.
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
That is the standard equation to graph a line.
you multiply m n p
The equation y = mx + b is the equation for a line in slope-intercept form. The slope is m, and the y-axis intercept is b.
