In an y=my+b equation what is y?

y is the dependent variable, depending on x.

Y=mx+b is the slope intercept form of a linear (line) equation.

Thx

In the equation y = mx + b, y represents the dependent variable. In most mathematical contexts, the variable y is commonly used to represent the output or vertical axis value. However, let me explain how to identify y in such an equation.

To determine the variable y in the equation y = mx + b, look for the term without any coefficient or constant multiplied to it. In this case, y does not have any coefficient or constant attached to it, making it the variable of interest.

This equation represents a linear relationship between the variables x and y, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The value of y changes depending on the values of x plugged into the equation.
