As my math teacher would say, the Math gods just picked those random variables to represent these things. There is no specific reason to my knowledge.

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 5 and y-intercept of -3?

What is a slope used for?

It shows the relationship of y in terms of x. [y = (yIntercept) + ((slope)*(x))] [slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)]


How do you find the slope and y-intercept of an equation?

first of all, i dont see how slope and yintercept has anything to do with shopping. usually in an equation, y= mx+b, m stands for slope, and b is the y-intercept. x and y are just x and y. If the equation is mixed up, and is not in y=mx+b format, you need to solve to get y on one side, the slope, x, and whatever the presented constant is (which is the y-intercept) on the other side. hope this helps.


What is the slope and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?

There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.


How do you write an equation of a line that passes through the xintercep and yintercept?

You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)


What is the slope of 2x plus y equals 4?

The standard form of the equation is y = mx + b. m is the slope of the line. So the answer is 2. M = Slope B = Y - Intercept


What is the 'Slope Intercept Form'?

y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept


How do you find b of a slope?

y=mx+b m=slope b=y-intercept


What is point slope form of an equation of a line?

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)


The equation of a line in slope intercept form is ymx plus b where m is the slope of the line?

If you mean: y = mx+b then the slope of the line is m and the y intercept is b


How do you write anequation in point slope form?

Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m


What is Slope Equation?

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
