The slope-intercept form of a line is the algebra description of a straight line:
y=mx+b [Slope-intercept form of a line]
y=any y-coordinate on the line
m=the slope or slant of the line
x=any corresponding x coordinate on the line
b=the y-intercept. That is, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
.
There are several other descriptions of a straight line such as:
Graphing the line
The point-slope form (y-y1)=m(x-x1)
The standard form of a line: (Ax+By=C)
