Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?
  • Step 1: Understand that the equation y = mx + b is a formula for a straight line.
  • Step 2: Identify the parts of the equation: 'y' is the output value, 'x' is the input value, 'm' is the slope, and 'b' is the y-intercept.
  • Step 3: Focus on 'm' in the equation. 'm' tells us how steep the line is.
  • Step 4: If 'm' is a positive number, the line goes up as you move to the right. If 'm' is a negative number, the line goes down.
  • Step 5: The larger the absolute value of 'm', the steeper the line.
