Slope-intercept form of a liney = mx + b

b is for the y intercept ; m is for slope, why m?

I believe (but am not sure) that what we now call just the "slope" was once called the "modulus of slope", the word "modulus" being used in its sense of "number used to measure" (as in "Young's modulus"). John Conway

the first use of the > word (that I know of) back to 1850. Before that phrases such as "the > tangent of the angle between the line and the x-axis" were used. I take > this as evidence that the concept of slope had not crystalized and so name > was attached to it. Both the word "slope" and the use of the letter "m" > seem to have originated in the USA. Fred Rickey

Write the equation of the line

Given Slope : m = 8 and y intercept : b = - 2

Write the equation of the line

Given Slope : m = 8 and y intercept : b = - 2

y = 8x + ( - 2)

y = 8x - 2

Which line through the given points are parallel?

Set of points: (0, - 3) and (1, - 2)

(5, 4) and ( - 4, - 4)

( - 6, - 1) and ( 3, 7)

Which line through the given points are parallel?

Set of points: (0, - 3) and (1, - 2)(5, 4) and ( - 4, - 4)( - 6, - 1) and ( 3, 7)

- 3 – ( - 2) = - 1 = 1 line through (0, - 3) and (1, - 2) 0 – ( 1) - 1 and line through ( - 6, - 1) and ( 3, 7)

4 – ( - 4) = 85 – ( - 4) 9

- 1 – 7 = - 8- 6 – 3 - 9

Which line through the given points are parallel?

Set of points: (0, - 3) and (1, - 2)(5, 4) and ( - 4, - 4)( - 6, - 1) and ( 3, 7)

- 3 – ( - 2) = - 1 line through (5, 4) and (- 4, - 4) 0 – ( 1) - 1 and line through ( - 6, - 1) and ( 3, 7)

4 – ( - 4) = 85 – ( - 4) 9

- 1 – 7 = - 8 = 8- 6 – 3 - 9 9
