slope-intercept form

The slope-intercept form is a way to write a straight-line equation as y = mx + b. Here, "m" represents the slope, which indicates how steep the line is—whether it rises or falls and how much for each step along the x-axis. The "b" is the y-intercept, showing where the line crosses the y-axis. This form makes it easy to graph the line and understand its behavior quickly, as it directly shows the slope and where the line intersects the vertical axis.
