Actually, the correct formula for slope intercept form is y=mx%2Bb. M is the slope rise%2Frun and b is the Y-Intercept. For example, in the following graph, the Y-Intercept is 4, which is where the line on the graph touches the Y-Axis, and the slope is 2 (rise divided by run) +graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x%2B4%29+
