That's the formula for the problem. You have to get a math problem (i.e. 2x + 12y - 9 = 11). Then you must put it into function form. Function form is the y = mx + b. You get it so there is one y which equals to something x (it should be a fraction, if it's a whole # then put it over 1) plus something- it can be a negative #. What is being added is the Y intercept, which is where the dot is on your graph that's x coordinate is 0. The # is the y coordinate.
If y = mx + b, then x = (y-b)/m (for m not equal to zero).
In the equation y = mx + b, x is the independent variable.Also, m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and y is the dependent variable.
same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
At the y-intercept, x=0 and y = b .
y=mx+b mx+b=y (mx means multipy.) Hope this helps! -natali4everca
If y = mx + b, then x = (y-b)/m (for m not equal to zero).
If you mean: mx+b = y then it is the formula of a straight line whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
In the equation y = mx + b, x is the independent variable.Also, m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and y is the dependent variable.

y = mx + b y - mx = b
It's is the formula of a straight line equation
y=mx+b mx+b=y (mx means multipy.) Hope this helps! -natali4everca
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
b = y - mx.
The x-intercept is equal to -b/m.
The value of m is the slope and the value of b is the y intercept.
