igreen · Answer

y = mx + b

Where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

igreen · Answer

So what's the slope and y-intercept going to be?

anonymous · Answer

The formula is y = mx + b. The m is slope, and the b is the y=intercept.

anonymous · Answer

So what's your answer? @killit!gentlythough.

anonymous · Answer

I tried doing the math but the fraction got on the wrong side and every thing got mixed up

igreen · Answer

Um.. you don't have to do any math at all.

anonymous · Answer

You don't need to do math on it. The slope is m, and the y=intercept is b in the equation y = mx + b.

igreen · Answer

Just compare it with y = mx + b.

anonymous · Answer

There isn't math to do.

anonymous · Answer

The question uses the equation y = mx + b.

anonymous · Answer

M is slope, and b is y=intercept. Got it? @killit!gentlythough.
