Question

If m < 0 and b > 0, the graph of y = mx + b does not pass through which quadrant?

Answer 1

Answer:

Quadrant III

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached picture shows graph of 4 such linear functions with the conditions given in the problem. ALL of them DO NOT pass through Quadrant III.

The graphs shown are of the functions:

$y=-2x+1$

$y=-3x+3$

$y=-x+0.5$

$y=-5x+2$

So, any linear function of the form  $y=mx+b$  with  $m$  and  $b>0$  does not pass through Quadrant III. Answer choice 3 is correct.

Answer 2

The graph will not past at quadrant III. I think thats the best answer, hope that helps.
