State

Slope-intercept form writes a line as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept.

Show

y = 2x − 1 announces itself: slope 2, y-intercept (0, −1), no plotting required.

Watch for

The b is a coordinate, not a point by itself.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
