My impression is that most likely these letters were chosen in much the same as x and y, which don't stand for words: We use letters near the end of the alphabet for the unknown variables, x and y. We use letters near the beginning of the alphabet for the intercepts, a and b; ... Why b for Intercept?

NOBODY know for sure! Some say it is because the word slope used to be called a modulus and m is for modulus, but that has not been proven. Many historians have tried to answer this question, but all their theories have been proven false. Y...

Question: When solving a problem on slopes,and in the formula y=mx+b what do the M and B stand for? Why M and B? ... In the standard equation for a line, y = mx + b, m designates the slope of the line, and b the y-intercept, that is b is the second coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Why m and b is...

From Susan Gregson: I am a secondary school teacher. My students and I would like to know why the letters m and b are traditionally used to stand for slope and Y-intercept in the standard form of an equation. Was this an arbitrary choice?

c is your y intercept; so make c =10 and you want the zeroes to ... All of the letters stand for numbers you can plug in, just as the others have said. a, b and c are usually constants when you solve for x. In order to plan a parabola, you will need to consider something like ax^2 = y, where y is the height of the arch.

Created by the PATINS Project. Permission to copy or modify is granted if rights are maintained. Planning Pyramid; What should students know ? Some students will know several methods for slope intercept other than y=mx + b. Most students will know how to graph an equation of a line in slope intercept form.
