I doubt any one person can be credited for deriving y = mx + b; where m = dy/dx is the slope and b is the y intercept. This is the kind of equation knowledgeable scientists and engineers would routinely derive during their daily courses of work.

Graphing linear equation using the slope and y-intercept of the line?
The y-intercept, together with the slope of the line, can also be used in graphing linear equations. The slope and y-intercept of a line can be obtained easily by inspection if the equeation of the line is of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
What is the slope-intercept form of linear equation?
y = mx + b Where m is the slope and b is the intercept on the y-axis.
What is the linear equation of the 2500 slope intercept form?
y = 2500. With slope = 0, intercept = 2500
Please help -- How does the slope and y-intercept change if you reverse the x and y axis of a linear graph. Will the graph still be linear?
If it was linear to start with it will still be linear. The slope will change to its reciprocal. The y-intercept will be unchanged (but it will look different)
How do you graph a linear equation slope intercept?
You can graph a linear equation slope intercept by solving the equation and plugging in the numbers : y=mx+b
What is an example of a linear equation?
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b where m = slope and b = the y-intercept.
If the slope of a line is 4 and the y intercept is negative 2 what is the linear equation in the slope intercept form?
slope intercept form is y=mx+b (m is slope, b is y intercept) slope = 4, y intercept = -2 y = 4x -2
What do you need to write a linear equation for a linear relationship?
A Y-intercept and the slope. The y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis.

What is the slope intercept form of a linear equation explain why this form is called slope intercept form?
y=mx+b, because m stands for the slope and b is the y-intercept
How do you graph a linear equation slope intercept?
You can graph a linear equation slope intercept by solving the equation and plugging in the numbers : y=mx+b
Three methods in graphing linear equation?
table of values,x and y-intercept and slope and y-intercept
Is y equals -x an undefined slope?
No it is not an undefined slope; the slope of y = -x is -1.The standard form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. In y = -x, the y-intercept is 0, and the slope is -1.
Is y equals 7x - 12 a nonlinear or linear?
-5
