Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is used to describe a straight line with a slope m and y-intercept b. In this representation, y denotes the value in the y-axis corresponding to a given x-value on the x-axis. The parameter m represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, also known as the slope of the line. The parameter b represents the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. This form is useful for quickly graphing the line and understanding its behavior.
