Solution

The slope of the line is m.The line crosses the y-axis at b.

The point where the line crosses the y-axis is called the y-intercept.

The x, y coordinates for the y-intercept are (0, b).

When the slope, m , is positive, the line slants upward to the right. The more positive m is, the steeper the line will slant upward to the right.

In the given case (m>0 ) m is postive and as m increases the steeper the line will slant upward to the right.
