Question 359490: If you could just double check my answer, I would appreciate it.
Find the slope of the line.
The slope of the line is m = mx + b (the mx + b is my answer to the question. I think it might be incorrect though because y = mx + b, so now I am not sure what to do.
Thanks for any help offered.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When you have a linerar equation in the form y=mx%2Bb the slope IS m

So if you have an equation such as y=4x%2B3

the slope (or m) is equal to 4

As a point of interest, the y-intercept for that line is 3, notated as (0,3)

The y-interecept is the point where the line crosses the y axis, and will always be in the form (0,b)

When you have a linear equation in the form y=mx%2Bb

it is known as slope-intercept form, where m is always the slope, and b is always the y-intercept.

I hope this helps!
