What is the equation of a line?
The equation of a line is y=mx+b, when m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
What does the equation for a linear relationship stand for?
y=mx+b is the equation for a linear relationship. y= the dependant variable m= the slope of the line x= the independent variable b= the y-intercept
In the linear equation ymx b what does the b stand for?
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.
Which part of the equation gives the slope of the line?
In the straight line equation: y = mx+b 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y intercept
Given the equation of a line how is the slope calculated?
If the equation of a line is in the form ax + by + c = 0 then the slope of the line will be -a/b.
