Slope of a line

The standard slope of a line is expresed as y = mx + b

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the eqeuation y = 1.345x + 5

mx = 1.345x

m = 1.345

This shows that 1.345 is the slope of the line which means the number of blooms per ounce of fertilizer added based on the context.
