This document discusses the linear equation y = mx + b, where m is the coefficient that represents the steepness of the graph, b is the y-intercept or the point where the line crosses the y-axis which is written as (0, b), and (x, y) represents a single coordinate pair or point on the line.

1. LINEAR EQUATION y = m x + b 1- constant rate of the table 2-coefficient in the equation 3 – steepness of the graph y intercept Written as a point: ( 0, b) ( x , y ) A coordinate pair, represents ONE point on the line!
