Question

1. what is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

a. $ax + by = c$
b. $y = mx + b$
c. $ax + b = y$
d. $mx - by = a$

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation explicitly shows the slope ($m$) and the y-intercept ($b$) of the line, which matches option b. Option a is the standard form, while options c and d are non-standard, non-slope-intercept linear expressions.

Answer:

b. $y = mx + b$
