It is the slope.
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)
To write the point-slope equation of a line that passes through the point (5, 5), you need a slope (m) as well. The point-slope form is given by the equation ( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) ). If the slope is not provided, you can express the equation generically as ( y - 5 = m(x - 5) ), where ( m ) is the slope of the line. If you have a specific slope, you can substitute it into the equation.
The straight line equation would depend on the slope which has not been given.

y = mx + c is the equation of a straight oblique line where m = gradient The gradient is a measue of the steepness of a line (or a measure of the slope of the line)

There is no equation there but the slope of the line is the number that multiplies x in the straight line equation y = mx + b whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = mx + c is the equation of a straight oblique line where m = gradient The gradient is a measue of the steepness of a line (or a measure of the slope of the line)
If the slope is m, then the equation is y - 7 = m*(x + 3)
In the straight line equation: y = mx+b 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y intercept
If the slope m is given at a point (xo, yo) of a line, then the equation of the line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo)
The equation of a line is y=mx+b, when m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
Assuming that you meant that the equation is y=3x+1, the slope is 3. This is because the equation of any line in the form of y=mx+b has a slope of "m". Therefore, the value of m in this equation is 3.
Another point is needed to work out the slope and its straight line equation. Slope is worked out as: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) ----------------------- With slope m and going through a point (x0, y0), a line has equation: y - y0 = m(x - x0) Thus the point-slope equation of a line with slope m through the point (-1, 2) is given by: y - 2 = m(x - -1) → y - 2 = m(x + 1)
If you mean: y = mx+b then the slope of the line is m and the y intercept is b
