slope-intercept
Y equals mx+b
Slope-intercept refers to a way of expressing linear equations in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept—the point where the line crosses the vertical axis.
This format makes it easy to graph a line or understand its behavior at a glance: Convert the equation to slope-intercept form.
The term appears almost exclusively in mathematics education.
