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
