y=30+10x
when x=0, she has written 30 pages.
each day thereafter, she writes another 10 pages. That is the change in y over the change in x or the slope.

Already wrote 30 pages; b=30

Rate of 10 pages per day; m=10

The 30 pages already written required 10*x=30, x=3. If starting from the very beginning not yet having written any, then is better.
