y is the value on the y axis on Cartesian x-y graph where x is the horizontal axis and y is the vertical axis. Fora given value of m (slope) and b ( y intercept) you vcan calcualte y for any value of x.

For example if y = 3x + 4 then y = 4 when x =0; y = 7 when x =1; y = 10 when x =2, and so forth.
