The y-intercept.
y=mx+b m is the slope, b is the y-intercept (where the line will cross the y axis.
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=mx+b mx+b=y (mx means multipy.) Hope this helps! -natali4everca
It is an arbitrary convention.

y = mx + b y - mx = b
If you mean the straight line equation of: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y=mx+b mx+b=y (mx means multipy.) Hope this helps! -natali4everca

same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
b = y - mx.
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.
the answer is: (y-b)/x = m y = mx + b y - b = mx (y-b)/x = m
