1. slope" was once called the "modulus of slope", the word "modulus" being used in its sense of "number used to measure" 2. It is originated from the Arabic word MOMAS means tangant.1.
The slope is normally represented by m so it is 0.
It is not documented why the letter m was chosen for slope. However, mathematician John Conway suggested that m could mean 'modulus of slope'.
slope can be represented by any variables, such that, the variable representing the slope is defined. by convention, mathematicians and mathematics books authors used and are using "m" as the variable for slope. (recommended to have further historical research on this matter)
y - 3x = 8 standard form is y = mx + b m = slope y = 3x + 8 in this form slope m is 3 The perpendicular line slope is the negative inverse of m -1/m = -1/3
M is simply just a random number picked by math maticians. Almost the whole alphabet stands for something.
M=1000 anything larger requires a combination of numerals
Your statement is correct. y=mx+b when m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

It is the letter M.
The slant or steepness of a line is called its "slope." The slope measures how much the line rises or falls vertically for a given horizontal distance. It is often represented by the letter "m" in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b. A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend.
