That is the equation of a line.
y = m*x + b
x is a changing variable to plot on the x-axis.
m is the slope of the line, or how slanted the line is.
b is the y-intercept, or where the line crosses on the y-axis.

in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
b represents the intercept on the y-axis
b is the variable for the y-intercept, or how far up or down the graph is shifted.
same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
In the equation y = mx + b, x is the independent variable.Also, m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and y is the dependent variable.
