The equation y = m x + b is an equation of a line in slope-intercept form:
(slope-intercept form) y = m slope x + b y-intercept
So, in your case
y = 3 m x + ( 1 5 ) b

In the equation f ( x ) = m x + c the slope is given by m and the y-intercept by c. This is because the slope is how much the function increases by each time we increase x by one (try this for any two values of x that are one apart) and the y-intercept is the value of f ( x ) when x = 0.
