y=mx+b
Y is the value on the vertical axis, the dependent variable.
X is the value on the horizontal axis, the independent variable.
m is the slope of the line. Slope is rise/run. The equation for slope is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It describes how many units up or down the graph travels for every unit traveled to the right. (If it's written as a fraction, like 2/5, that means two units up for every five units right).
b is the y-intercept. This is the y value when the x value is 0, when the line crosses the y-axis.

Is y equals mx plus b the same thing as y equals b plus mx or do you need to convert it?
same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
In the linear equation is the variable for the y intercept b or c ie y equals mx plus b or y equals mx plus b?
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
Give examples of y equals mx plus b?
y=mx+b mx+b=y (mx means multipy.) Hope this helps! -natali4everca
What is 2x-2y equals -10 in y equals mx plus b form?
It is: y = x+5 in y = mx+b form
What does the b in y equals mx plus b mean?

Y equals mX plus b rearrange to solve for b?
y = mx + b y - mx = b
In the linear equation is the variable for the y intercept b or c ie y equals mx plus b or y equals mx plus b?
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
How do you solve y equals mx plus b solve for b?
b = y - mx.
Is y equals mx plus b different from f x equals mx plus b?
yes
Give examples of y equals mx plus b?
y=mx+b mx+b=y (mx means multipy.) Hope this helps! -natali4everca
What is 2x-2y equals -10 in y equals mx plus b form?
It is: y = x+5 in y = mx+b form
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
What does the b in y equals mx plus b mean?
Fbr
Y equals mx plus b for x?
x = (y-b)/m
What word does the b stand for in y equals mx plus b?
The y-intercept.
Why is b in y equals mx plus b?
b is the intercept through the y axis
