You can call it s if you want to but m has been the standard - it stands for "modulus" and is commonly used to indicate slope

The slope of the line that represents the graph of that equation is 15.
Solving the equation for "y" gives you the slope-intercept form.
Since the equation is written in the form y = mx + c, the slope is simply m. In this case, m = 2.
y=-5x+8 the slope is -5.
what is the slope of the line that has the equation 4x+2y=12?

The slope of the line that represents the graph of that equation is 15.
Solving the equation for "y" gives you the slope-intercept form.
Since the equation is written in the form y = mx + c, the slope is simply m. In this case, m = 2.
The slope is -6 and the y intercept is 12
y=-5x+8 the slope is -5.

m = 0.43 =======
In an equation in the form y = mx + b, m is the slope. Therefore, in the equation y = 54x + 5, 54 is the slope.
You draw a straight line through (0,b) which has a slope of m.
