General Form of a Straight Line

What is y = m...

Question

What is $y = m x + b$ ?

Open in App

Solution

Define $y = m x + b$ .
The Slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope of the line parallel to the $x$ -axis and $b$ is the $y$ -axis intercept, which is the distance between the line and the $y$ -axis.
Hence, $y = m x + b$ is the equation of line in the slope-intercept form.
