The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
Q. What does it mean when the two runners graph cross?
What does it mean when the two runners’ graphs cross? It means that they reached the same point at the same time.

Q. What is the Y intercept of your graph?
The y -intercept of a graph is the point where the graph crosses the y -axis. (Because a function must pass the vertical line test , a function can have at most one y -intercept . ) The y -intercept is often referred to with just the y -value.
Q. How often does the line y 1 intersect the graph?
3 times
Q. Why do they use the letter M for slope?
It is not known why the letter m was chosen for slope; the choice may have been arbitrary. John Conway has suggested m could stand for “modulus of slope.” One high school algebra textbook says the reason for m is unknown, but remarks that it is interesting that the French word for “to climb” is monter.
Q. What does Y intercept mean in linear regression?
The constant term in linear regression analysis seems to be such a simple thing. Also known as the y intercept, it is simply the value at which the fitted line crosses the y-axis. Paradoxically, while the value is generally meaningless, it is crucial to include the constant term in most regression models!
Q. What does the Y stand for in slope intercept form?
: the equation of a straight line in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is its y-intercept.
Q. How do you turn a problem into slope-intercept form?
To change the equation into slope-intercept form, we write it in the form y=mx+b . We want to isolate the y, so our first step is to multiply both sides by 9. Then cancel out the 9’s on the right side. Then subtract 36 from both sides.
Q. How do you graph slope intercept form?
To graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form, we can use the information given by that form. For example, y=2x+3 tells us that the slope of the line is 2 and the y-intercept is at (0,3). This gives us one point the line goes through, and the direction we should continue from that point to draw the entire line.
Q. How do I graph an equation?
To graph a linear equation, we can use the slope and y-intercept.
- Locate the y-intercept on the graph and plot the point.
- From this point, use the slope to find a second point and plot it.
- Draw the line that connects the two points.
Q. How do you find the Y in an equation?
To find the x-intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for ‘y’ and solve for ‘x’. To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for ‘x’ and solve for ‘y’.
