Answer to Problem 1CFU
m = slope
b = y-intercept
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The graph given is shown below.
The value of m represents the slope of a linear line. The slope is the rate of change between increases in y and increases in x.
The value of b represents the y-intercept of a linear line. The y-intercept is the point where the crosses the y-axis.
Thus, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
