In the equation Y=mx+b, which is what I believe you mean, 'b' is the y intercept of the graph. In other words, if the equation is plotted in standard Cartesian coordinates, the straight line crosses the y-axis at the height b above the x axis.

Is y equals 13x linear?

The equation y = 13x is in the form "y = mx + b" (in this case, b is zero). Therefore, the equation is linear.
