A common form of representing a linear equation that follows this description is slope intercept form. *m* represents the slope of the line, and is often represented as a fraction. One way to remember how to interpret this fraction as a slope is "rise over run." For a fraction n/d, for every d units moved right, the plotted point moves n units up. *b* represents the y value at which the line crosses the y-axis. #### More Information: - - - +* [Intro to slope-intercept form - Khan Academy](https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/two-var-linear-equations/slope-intercept-form/v/slope-intercept-form)
