1. m
2. One set of ordered pairs
3. b
To show why this is, I’m going to explain how to write the equation for a linear function with two random sets of ordered pairs - (1,0) and (5, 8).
First, find the slope. The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two sets of points.
This is why #1 is m. M is the letter used when finding slope.
To find m, I plug in the two sets of ordered pairs.
m = (8-0)/(5-1)
m = 8/4
m = 2
An equation for a line (linear function) is written in something called slope-intercept form. It looks like y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (number y equals when x = 0). If m = 3 and b = 1, the equation would be y = 3x + 1.
Here, you have just solved for m and know it equals 2. Plug that value in for m.
y = 2x + b
To solve for b, plug one ordered pair in for x and y. I will use (1,0)
0 = 2(1) + b
0 = 2 + b
-2 = b
Now that you know b = -2, plug that in for b.
y = 2x - 2. Now you have the equation fo the line.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is not a function
9 is a function
10 is a function
Answer:
No mistake
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 5
x - 2y = 10
y = 5 - 2x
x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10
x - 10 + 4x = 10
5x - 10 = 10
5x = 20
x = 4
2(4) + y = 5
y = -3
She made no mistake
You can check by plugging in x = 4 and y = -3 into the original equations . They fit exactly.
