Question

in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) what is the \m\?
the x-intercept
a point
the y-intercept
the slope (rate of change)

Explanation:

In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation $y=mx+b$, each variable has a defined role. The term $m$ represents the constant rate of change between $x$ and $y$, which is called the slope. The $b$ term is the y-intercept, while the x-intercept is the value of $x$ when $y=0$, and a point is a pair of $(x,y)$ values.

Answer:

D. The slope (rate of change)
