y=mx+b

is commonly referred to as slope-intercept form. It is one way to show a linear equation, where:

y = the y part of an ordered pair,

x = the x part of an ordered pair,

m= the slope of a line-rise over run is slope, so your numerator is how many you go up, and your denominator is how many you go over-you draw these dots and then connect them, and

b = the y intercept-that is, the ordered pair where the line crosses over the y axis.
