Question

in the equation y=mx+b, what does the m represent? point - slope linear slope y - intercept

Explanation:

The equation $y=mx+b$ is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. In this standard form, the coefficient of $x$ (denoted as $m$) defines the steepness or rate of change of the line, which is called the slope. The term $b$ represents the y-intercept, "linear" describes the type of equation, and "point-slope" refers to a different form of linear equation.

Answer:

C. slope
