Stamp Out Slope-intercept Form!

Accumulation 5: Lines If you have a function y(x), that has a constant derivative, m, and contains the point  then, using the accumulation idea I’ve been discussing in my last few posts, its equation is This is why I need your help! I want to ban all use of the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, as a…
