Understanding Slope-Intercept Form

Slope-intercept form is a specific form of linear equations where y=mx+b, with m representing the slope and b representing the y-intercept point (0,b). The slope is the rate of change between x and y, showing how y changes with increases in x, while the y-intercept b gives the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This form is useful as it separates the slope and y-intercept into distinct parts of the equation for easy interpretation of the line's properties.
