Slope Y Intercept B19878

1. The problem asks for the slope and y-intercept of a line. 2. The slope-intercept form of a line is $$y = mx + b$$ where $$m$$ is slope and $$b$$ is y-intercept. 3. The slope $$m$$ shows line steepness; y-intercept $$b$$ is where line crosses y-axis. 4. To find slope and intercept, rewrite line equation in form $$y = mx + b$$. 5. Identify $$m$$ as coefficient of $$x$$ and $$b$$ as constant term. 6. Explanation in 15 words: Slope measures steepness; y-intercept is point where line crosses y-axis on graph.
