If you are at sea level and diving and you descend 500 ft, then how far are you away from sea level?
0+|-500|=500 feet away from sea level
They are the same , hope this helps :)
The two equations are in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.
m is the slope and it is the rate of change.
b is the constant, and it is the initial value.
Eq. A: y = 3x + 4 ---> rate of change = m = 3; initial value = b = 4
Eq. B: y = 5x + 2 ---> rate of change = m = 5; initial value = b = 2
Now you can see which statement is true.
A. False
B. True
C. False
D. False
