Please help Identify the slope, m, and y-intercept, b, of the equation.
y = 2x + 1
Enter the correct values in the boxes.
m=1); b =

m = 2 (the slope is 2/1), b = 1 (the y-intercept is (0,1))

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plot a point on the y-intercept (0,1). Then go up twice and to the right once to find the next point (since the slope is 2/1). You can continue doing this to form a line. The graph is shown below

m=2

b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of a line. The equation is:

y=2x+1

This equation is in slope-intercept form, or

y=mx+b  

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Essentially, the coefficient of x is the slope and number that is added or subtracted from that is the y-intercept.

When we analyze the equation given, we see that x is being multiplied by 2. Therefore, the slope must be 2.

We can also see that 1 is added to 2x. Therefore, the y-intercept must be 1.

The slope of the line is 2 and the y-intercept is 1.

m=2 and b=1

The graph of the line is shown below.
