Breaking Down y = mx + b
The 'm' variable dictates extreme steepness and direction. It serves as the multiplier for every 'x' unit.
- Positive Slope: Line rises (e.g., y = 2x)
- Negative Slope: Line falls (e.g., y = -2x)
- Zero Slope: Horizontal plane (e.g., y = 4)
- Undefined: Vertical wall (e.g., x = 4)
The 'b' variable dictates the line's fixed position on a graph. It tells you exactly where the line cuts completely across the vertical Y-axis string.
Mathematically, the Y-intercept is precisely what the equation equals when the chosen x horizontal position is absolutely zero. It serves as the static 'baseline' for your equation's growth.
