Because in a vertical line the slope is undefined, there is no "y" answer or "b" value and the line is in the form of x = some number such as x = 3 which is a vertical line.
If you mean: y = mx+b then it is the formula for a straight line equation whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
If you mean: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
In the equation Y=mx+b, which is what I believe you mean, 'b' is the y intercept of the graph. In other words, if the equation is plotted in standard Cartesian coordinates, the straight line crosses the y-axis at the height b above the x axis.
If the equation of a line is in the form ax + by + c = 0 then the slope of the line will be -a/b.
If you mean: y = mx+b then the slope of the line is m and the y intercept is b
You're talking about y=mx+b which is the standard line equation.
y=m*x+b is called the slope-intercept form because it describes a line where m is the slope and b is the point on the y-axis that the line intercepts.

General form for a line equation is: y=mx+b.
The m is the slope in the y=mx+b or the number before the x.
It rotates the graph about the point (0, b). The greater the value of m, the more steeply it rises to the right.
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + b, where "m" represents the slope of the line and "b" represents the y-intercept.
