Question 165317
The "slope-intercept" form of a linear equation is expressed as:
{{{y = mx+b}}} It is so named because you can read the slope (that's the m) and the y-intercept (that's the b) directly from the equation.
For example, in the linear equation:
{{{y = -5x - 6}}}, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -6.
