The y-intercept.


What does b stand for in a equation of a line?

y=mx+b m is the slope, b is the y-intercept (where the line will cross the y axis.


Example of a slope intercept form?

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b the m would stand for your slope and b would stand for you y intercept written as (0,b)


Y equals mX plus b rearrange to solve for b?

y = mx + b y - mx = b


In the standard equation for a line what does the variable B stand for?

If you mean the straight line equation of: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept

same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b


How do you solve y equals mx plus b solve for b?

b = y - mx.


How do you change point-slope to slope-intercept?

Given the point P = (a, b) and slope m, the point-slope equation is(y - b) = m*(x - a)y - b = mx - may = mx - ma + bwhich can be re-written asy = mx + (b - ma) which is of the slope-intercept form y = mx + c in which c = b - ma.Given the point P = (a, b) and slope m, the point-slope equation is(y - b) = m*(x - a)y - b = mx - may = mx - ma + bwhich can be re-written asy = mx + (b - ma) which is of the slope-intercept form y = mx + c in which c = b - ma.Given the point P = (a, b) and slope m, the point-slope equation is(y - b) = m*(x - a)y - b = mx - may = mx - ma + bwhich can be re-written asy = mx + (b - ma) which is of the slope-intercept form y = mx + c in which c = b - ma.Given the point P = (a, b) and slope m, the point-slope equation is(y - b) = m*(x - a)y - b = mx - may = mx - ma + bwhich can be re-written asy = mx + (b - ma) which is of the slope-intercept form y = mx + c in which c = b - ma.


How do you Solve the formula y equals mx plus b for M?

the answer is: (y-b)/x = m y = mx + b y - b = mx (y-b)/x = m
