Answer
slope;
y-intercept
Work Step by Step
As we learnt from page 119, $m$, the coefficient of x, is the slope or gradient of the linear graph. It is the average rate of change of y with respect to x.
$b$ is the y-intercept of the graph. It is the value of the graph when $x=0$, or the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis.
